SantaCon in Biloxi, MS

No SantaCon event for Biloxi is confirmed in the data behind this page, which means there is no date to share. 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.

Costumes are the point: think Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves or anything holiday-themed that you can move around in. December in Mississippi 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.

If an event for Biloxi is added to our list, this page and the related event page would show it. The event list is the place to look for new cities. Confirmed cities so far fall on December 5, 12 and 19. Until then, dated cities elsewhere on the list are the better bet for planning.

Eat a real meal beforehand and drink water between rounds, since the night covers several hours. Charge your phone fully before you leave home. 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.

People dress as Santa or other holiday characters and visit bars together, which is the heart of SantaCon. It has spread well beyond its San Francisco beginnings. Whether Biloxi has an event depends on whether an organizer lists one. Dates announced so far elsewhere are all in December.

Anyone planning to drink should be 21 or older with a valid photo ID, and the event may apply its own limits. If your group includes anyone under 21, check the event page before you plan around them. Name a sober driver or schedule a rideshare in advance. Do not lend your ID to anyone, since it will not work for them.

For options outside Mississippi, our list shows Chattanooga, TN (Dec 5), Knoxville, TN (Dec 5) and Memphis, TN (Dec 12). Dates and details are on each city's event page. Traveling for the night? Plan lodging and a way home first. If you are driving, look at parking and rideshare options near the start point.
