FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Knoxville SantaCon

What is Knoxville SantaCon?

Knoxville SantaCon is a ticketed holiday crawl, guests in Santa gear hit participating bars with one wristband. Entry needs a ticket, so buy ahead of time.

When does Knoxville SantaCon start?

Look to the event details at the top of this page for start and end. Your ticket information carries the confirmed check-in window, worth reading before you head out.

What does my ticket include?

Included, an event wristband, participating bar access, bar-offered deals and the digital crawl map. Buying each drink is separate, and ticket tiers can differ.

How old do I need to be?

Age 21 and up only, and a valid government-issued photo ID has to prove it. Keep the physical card on you all night, since a bar may ask again after check-in.

Do I have to visit every bar?

No. Move between participating bars at your own pace within event hours. Skip a stop, linger at another and let the digital map guide your order.

Where are Market Square, Gay Street and the Old City?

All three are part of downtown Knoxville, and Gay Street forms the western edge of the Old City. Wear comfortable closed shoes, since you will be on your feet between stops.

Where should I park or catch a ride?

KAT, the local bus system, serves downtown, but check its schedule yourself for the evening. Ride-share is often the easier way home after a crawl.

How cold does Knoxville get in winter?

Winter nights are cool, with overnight lows averaging right around freezing and very little snow. Layer a warm base under your Santa suit and bring gloves, since crawling means walking outdoors between bars.
