Washington, D.C. SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl where guests in Santa suits, elf gear and reindeer antlers move between participating bars. You check in once, wear one wristband and follow the route at whatever pace suits your group. D.C. is a city of neighborhoods, and Dupont Circle, Penn Quarter and Capitol Hill all have bars among their restaurants and shops. Metrorail has stations across central D.C., and your digital map keeps the stops in front of you. Where to check in, which bars are on the route and when things run will all be spelled out for ticket holders in the event information.
Everything important, without the wall of text.

You must be 21 or older. Valid government-issued photo ID is required. Bring the physical card, since bars check ID apart from your wristband and a phone photo will not do.
Winter in D.C. is chilly, with highs in the upper 40s and lows in the mid 30s. Wear warm layers under the costume and comfortable shoes, since you will spend a lot of time walking between stops.
