SANTACON

Tacoma SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for people in Santa suits, elf outfits and antlers. Check in, collect a wristband and digital map, then visit participating bars on your own schedule with event deals along the way. The T Line light rail serves downtown Tacoma, the Theater District, the Stadium District and Hilltop. Your digital map shows the participating stops, so the route is easy to follow once you have it. Your check-in venue, participating bar lineup and schedule come in your event information once confirmed. Keep it handy before you head downtown.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Tacoma SantaCon

What is Tacoma SantaCon?

Tacoma SantaCon is a ticketed holiday crawl for guests in Santa gear, hitting participating Tacoma bars on one wristband. Other Santa events around town are separate; this one needs a ticket.

When does Tacoma SantaCon start?

Start and end times for the crawl are given in the event details at the top of this page. Ticket information then settles your check-in window and where the group meets.

What does my ticket include?

The ticket includes an event wristband, participating bar access, bar-offered deals and a digital crawl map. Plan to buy your own drinks, since none are automatically free.

Can I use the T Line to get around?

The T Line light rail serves downtown Tacoma, the Theater District, the Stadium District and Hilltop. Check the current schedule and your map first so you know how it fits your route.

Should I drive downtown in Tacoma?

Drinking is part of the plan, so skip driving. Arrange a rideshare or another ride home before you head out, and consider the T Line for getting around between stops.

How old do I need to be?

You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID. Bring the physical card, because bars check ID separately from the wristband and a phone photo will not work.

What should I wear in a Tacoma winter?

Wear your Santa suit with a waterproof layer and warm base clothes, since Tacoma winters are cold and wet. Comfortable, water-resistant shoes beat novelty boots if you will be walking between stops.

Can I transfer my ticket to a friend?

Transfers or exchanges may be possible, so read your order terms and contact the seller. Sales are final and refunds are not available, so confirm your plans before checking out.
