SantaCon in Melbourne, FL

No confirmed date is on file for SantaCon Melbourne at the moment. 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 Melbourne is not guaranteed. Hold off on non-refundable travel until a date is confirmed.

The Melbourne event follows the SantaCon tradition of festive costumes, a crowd in holiday gear and a night out across bars. It is a holiday party, so picture a social crowd in costume rather than a sit-down dinner or a quiet evening out. We have not listed bar names or perks here because they are not confirmed in our data. Going with friends makes it easier, since the night is more fun in a group.

Bar crawls are built around alcohol service, and the legal drinking age in Florida is 21, so expect a 21+ crowd. Rules can differ by venue, so check the event page for anything specific to Melbourne. Door staff make the final call on entry. Do not lend your ID to anyone, since it will not work for them.

Other Florida SantaCon dates currently listed: St. Petersburg (Dec 12), Tampa (Dec 12) and Fort Lauderdale (Dec 12). Check each event page for the date that fits your plans. Traveling for the night? Plan lodging and a way home first. Dates and details can change, so recheck each event page before you travel.

Wear a Santa suit or another holiday costume; red, green and white outfits, elf looks and reindeer gear all fit the theme. Pick a lighter outfit, such as a Santa dress or shorts and a hat, over a heavy suit if the day runs warm. Comfortable shoes matter because you will be walking between bars. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.
