About
San Francisco, CA
SANTACON

San Francisco SantaCon here is a ticketed, 21+ holiday bar crawl, separate from other loosely organized SantaCon gatherings. You check in, collect a wristband, then visit participating bars in Santa suits, elf outfits and reindeer gear. San Francisco is a hilly city of distinct neighborhoods, from Union Square and North Beach to the Marina, and BART and Muni connect much of it. Your digital map shows the stops, so you can plan the walking. Expect the venue where you check in, the bars on the route and the final schedule to reach you through your event information after confirmation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your San Francisco SantaCon

What is San Francisco SantaCon?

San Francisco SantaCon, on this page, means a ticketed holiday crawl, costumed guests visit participating bars across the city on one wristband. Other loosely organized SantaCon gatherings are a separate thing.

Is this an unticketed Santa meetup?

No. This is the ticketed crawl, and the wristband, participating bar access and digital map come with your ticket. Any other SantaCon gathering is a separate event with its own rules.

When does the crawl start?

The start and end times are listed in the event details at the top of this page. This crawl starts in the daytime, so check times before you plan breakfast.

What does my ticket include?

A ticket gets you the event wristband, entry to participating bars, those bars' deals and the digital crawl map. The drinks themselves are not automatically free, so read each bar's offer.

How old do I need to be?

Age requirement, 21 or older, plus a valid government-issued photo ID shown at check-in. Hold onto the physical card, since a bar may ask to see it again later.

Should I drive in San Francisco?

Consider skipping the car. BART and Muni serve much of the city, and rideshare is another option. Whichever you choose, plan your ride home before the first stop and check your route in advance.

What should I wear for the weather?

Highs in winter sit around the upper 50s, and the rainy season runs through much of the winter. Layer under your costume and bring a light rain jacket, plus comfortable shoes for the hills.

Can I book a group?

Yes, for a party of 20 or more. Discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages may be available, and the group booking form lower on this page is where to ask.
