SantaCon in Albuquerque, NM

Mark Saturday, December 5, 2026: that is the date listed for Albuquerque SantaCon. If you are coming from out of town, settle your lodging only after you confirm the schedule. No start time is listed in this summary, so confirm it on the SantaCon Albuquerque event page. Add the date to your calendar now so the weekend does not fill up.

SantaCon Albuquerque is a holiday bar crawl where guests dress as Santa, elves or other festive characters and move from bar to bar. Because it is a group event, you will share bars with other costumed guests rather than having a venue to yourself. Treat this page as a starting point and the event page as the source for the particulars. Arrive curious and costumed, and the rest tends to take care of itself.

We do not list bar names here because venues are not confirmed in the data behind this page; the Albuquerque event page is the place to look. Save the event page so you can check it for updates. Follow the organizer for announcements about start points. Walking distances between bars matter, so note them before choosing shoes.

Go with a group if you can, agree on a meeting spot, and share your location with a friend. Wear comfortable shoes, because you will be on your feet. Pick one person in the group to keep an eye on everyone's ride home. Follow local rules about open containers and walking between bars.

Pricing and availability are not stated on this page. Open the Albuquerque event page to see current ticket information. Prices can change as the date gets closer, so compare what you see on the day you buy. Questions about an order should go to the organizer named on the event page. Compare any bundle options only after confirming the date matches your plans.

Plan on being 21 or older, since the event is a bar crawl and the U.S. legal drinking age is 21. Rules can differ by venue, so check the event page for anything specific to Albuquerque. Arriving with your ID in hand speeds up the line. Do not lend your ID to anyone, since it will not work for them.

Wear a Santa suit or another holiday costume; red, green and white outfits, elf looks and reindeer gear all fit the theme. December in New Mexico can swing between chilly and mild, so bring a light jacket you do not mind carrying. Comfortable shoes matter because you will be walking between bars. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.
