SantaCon in Huntington Beach, CA

We do not have a confirmed 2026 SantaCon event for Huntington Beach in our event list, so no date is shown. If one is added, it would get its own event page and date. Please do not rely on listings from other years, because dates change annually. Meanwhile, other cities have confirmed dates, so look at their pages.

A SantaCon is a group holiday party where costumed guests move through bars. The format began in San Francisco in the 1990s and has been copied widely. Not every city has an event each year, and Huntington Beach is covered on this page for that reason. Dates announced so far elsewhere are all in December.

Yes. Other California stops with dates on our list include Sacramento (Dec 12), San Diego (Dec 12) and San Francisco (Dec 12). Dates and details are on each city's event page. Look at travel time before choosing, since distances can be longer than they look. Dates and details can change, so recheck each event page before you travel.

Most people lean into red, white and green. A full Santa outfit works, and so does a creative holiday twist. 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.

The best way is to return to this page, since an added Huntington Beach event would appear here with its own page. Searching again closer to December can also turn up listings. Dated events on our list use Saturdays in December. Until then, dated cities elsewhere on the list are the better bet for planning.

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. Be kind to bar staff, who handle large crowds on a busy night. Never leave a drink unattended.

Expect to be 21 or older. The 21-and-over drinking law applies in Huntington Beach just as it does nationwide. 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.
