SantaCon in Panama City, FL

We do not have a confirmed 2026 SantaCon event for Panama City in our event list, so no date is shown. A date would need to be confirmed before it could be shown here. Old SantaCon listings for Panama City may not apply this year. Meanwhile, other cities have confirmed dates, so look at their pages.

Dress festive. Santa gear is the standard, though any holiday character fits the crawl. December can feel mild or warm in Florida, so breathable fabrics beat heavy fur-trimmed suits. Comfortable shoes matter because you will be walking between bars. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.

New events are published as event pages, so a Panama City page would appear if the city is added. Bookmarking the page helps you spot changes. Our list of dated cities spans three December weekends. Until then, dated cities elsewhere on the list are the better bet for planning.

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. Not every city has an event each year, and Panama City is covered on this page for that reason. Dates announced so far elsewhere are all in December.

Yes. Other Florida stops with dates on our list include Fort Lauderdale (Dec 12), Fort Myers (Dec 12) and Jacksonville (Dec 12). Check each event page for the date that fits your plans. 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.

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