Norfolk SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and over. You check in, pick up an event wristband, and move between participating bars in Santa suits, elf outfits or ugly sweaters, whenever you feel like it. Ghent is the Norfolk neighborhood where this crawl is based, and winter days in Norfolk typically top out between the upper 40s and mid 50s Fahrenheit, so plan for a cool evening. The digital map keeps the route simple while you focus on staying comfortable. Check-in details, the participating bar list and the schedule reach you in your event information, not through this page.
