SantaCon in Anaheim, CA

We cannot confirm a Anaheim SantaCon for 2026 from our data, so we are not publishing a date. That could change if an event is added later, so check back. Please do not rely on listings from other years, because dates change annually. Meanwhile, other cities have confirmed dates, so look at their pages.

If an event for Anaheim is added to our list, this page and the related event page would show it. Pages that exist today can change as organizers confirm details. Cities with confirmed dates currently all fall on December Saturdays. Until then, dated cities elsewhere on the list are the better bet for planning.

Plan on a 21+ crowd, since the legal drinking age in California is 21. If your group includes anyone under 21, check the event page before you plan around them. Arriving with your ID in hand speeds up the line. Keep it in a secure pocket so it does not get lost in a crowd.

SantaCon is a Santa-themed pub crawl held in December in cities around the country. The format began in San Francisco in the 1990s and has been copied widely. Whether Anaheim has an event depends on whether an organizer lists one. Dates announced so far elsewhere are all in December.

Yes. Other California stops with dates on our list include San Jose (Dec 12), Santa Barbara (Dec 12) and Santa Cruz (Dec 12). Check each event page for the date that fits your plans. Check driving time and parking ahead of time. If you are driving, look at parking and rideshare options near the start point.

Show up in Santa gear or another holiday look. A single hat can work, but a full outfit fits in better. December in California can swing between chilly and mild, so bring a light jacket you do not mind carrying. Wear shoes you can stand in for hours. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.
