San Diego SantaCon is a ticketed holiday crawl for people in Santa suits, elf outfits and antlers. Check in, take your wristband, and drift between participating bars, claiming whatever deals each one offers. The San Diego Trolley has stations for both the Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy, so reaching downtown without a car is possible. San Diego winters are mild. Other San Diego holiday events are separate, so confirm you booked this one. The check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule are sent in your event information once confirmed, so read it before you leave home.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
San Diego’s participating bars are confirmed in your event information and shown on the digital map, so follow the lineup you receive. Lineups can change, and each bar sets its own deals. The Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy are San Diego neighborhoods, but your map decides the route.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Order the San Diego ticket sized for your group online. Every sale is final, so lock in your plans before you pay.

Stroll bar by bar as you like, ask each one about its event deals and leave the wristband on.
Go home whenever you are done. Any extra plans for the close of the event will be in your event information.
The essentials for planning your San Diego SantaCon
San Diego SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl, guests in Santa gear visit participating San Diego bars on a single wristband. A ticket is required, and other SantaCon-style events are separate.
Where you check in is named in the event information sent with your ticket. Head there first, because the wristband and digital map are only given out at check-in, and check the window beforehand.
Late arrival depends on the check-in window in your event information, so read it before you plan your day. You still need to check in to receive your wristband and map.
The age rule is 21 or older, with a valid government-issued photo ID in hand. Carry the physical card, since a phone photo may be turned away at check-in or the bars.
No. Move at your own pace within the event hours and spend longer wherever you like. The digital map shows the participating stops, so you can skip or linger.
The San Diego Trolley has stations for the Gaslamp Quarter and Little Italy, and rideshare is another option. Whichever you pick, plan the ride home before the first stop so the night ends smoothly.
No. This page covers the ticketed bar crawl only. Other San Diego holiday gatherings may share the SantaCon name but are separate events, so check the event name and check-in details in your confirmation.
Wear a Santa suit, elf outfit or other Christmas costume. San Diego winters are mild, so a light jacket over the costume usually covers the evening, and comfortable shoes help on a walking route.
Pick your pass and get ready to join the party.
