SantaCon in Dayton, OH

We cannot give you a verified date for Dayton yet because the event data we have does not include one. Look at the event page for the current schedule before you plan travel. The dates confirmed so far for other cities are December 5, 12 and 19, so December is the likely window, though Dayton is not guaranteed. Hold off on non-refundable travel until a date is confirmed.

Other Ohio SantaCon dates currently listed: Toledo (Dec 12), Cincinnati (Dec 12) and Cleveland (Dec 12). Each city has its own event page with its own details. Rules, perks and routes can differ from one city to the next. If you are driving, look at parking and rideshare options near the start point.

It is a Santa-themed bar crawl, so the crowd is dressed up and the night revolves around visiting bars together. It is a holiday party, so picture a social crowd in costume rather than a sit-down dinner or a quiet evening out. Anything beyond basics, such as perks and routes, should be verified on the event page. Going with friends makes it easier, since the night is more fun in a group.

Because this is a bar crawl, assume 21+ entry and bring a valid government-issued photo ID. If your group includes anyone under 21, check the event page before you plan around them. Door staff make the final call on entry. Do not lend your ID to anyone, since it will not work for them.

Most people lean into red, white and green. A full Santa outfit works, and so does a creative holiday twist. Expect cold in Dayton in December. Layers matter, and you may spend time outdoors between bars. Skip costume pieces that are hard to carry or that block other guests. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.

Ticket links and pricing, if available, are on the Dayton SantaCon event page; this page does not confirm availability or prices.

No venue list is confirmed here. Check the event page, which is where the organizer would post bars or a meeting point. Venue lists can change, so look again closer to the event date. Follow the organizer for announcements about start points. Ask your group to pick a backup meeting spot in case you get separated.
