Kalamazoo, MI
Suit up, check in once and work through participating Kalamazoo bars on a single wristband, with a digital map doing the navigating for you.

Event Time
Location
Kalamazoo SantaCon is a ticketed crawl for guests 21+ who turn up in Santa suits, elf hats or antlers. Check in once, take your wristband, then drift between participating bars whenever your crew is ready. Downtown Kalamazoo is home to the Kalamazoo Mall and Bronson Park, which gives the core of town a recognizable center. Winter here brings lake-effect snow, which makes the digital map and a warm coat equally useful. Expect the check-in venue, bar lineup and run of the evening in your event information once they are locked in.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
Kalamazoo’s participating bars are listed in your event information and on the digital map, which is the version to trust. Lineups can change, and every bar sets its own specials. The map, not a guess about where the night starts, decides your actual route.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Pick the Kalamazoo ticket for your group and pay online. Sales are final, so settle your plans before you pay.
Take a valid government-issued photo ID to the confirmed check-in venue. Staff there give you the wristband and the digital map.
Walk the participating stops at your own pace, ask about the event deals and keep the wristband on.
Head home whenever you like. If anything extra is planned once the crawl wraps, your event information will say so.
The essentials for planning your Kalamazoo SantaCon
Kalamazoo SantaCon is a ticketed holiday crawl, guests in Santa, elf or reindeer gear move through participating bars wearing a single wristband. Tickets are required, so buy before you go.
Check-in is at one confirmed venue, named in your event information after purchase. Arrive there before anything else; no check-in means no wristband and no digital map.
The ticket bundles a wristband, entry to participating bars, bar-offered deals and the digital map. Drinks are bought separately, and ticket tiers can differ.
A valid government-issued photo ID and a minimum age of 21 are non-negotiable. Keep the physical card on you, since bars can ask to see it apart from the wristband.
Wear your Santa gear over warm layers. Winters here bring lake-effect snow and daytime highs in the mid-30s, so pick waterproof boots and gloves before you pick accessories.
Amtrak serves the Kalamazoo Transportation Center, which helps if you are coming from elsewhere in Michigan. Check train times yourself and plan a safe ride between the station and check-in.
No. Move between participating bars at your own pace during event hours, and skip any stop that does not suit your group. The digital map shows what is available.
Check the confirmed check-in window in your event information before you travel. Arriving inside that window is the safest way to collect your wristband and map.
Pick your pass and get ready to join the party.
