SantaCon in Scranton, PA

There is an event page for Scranton, but its date is not confirmed in our data, so we do not want to guess. Open the Scranton event page to see whether a schedule has been posted. Cities with confirmed dates on our list fall on Saturdays in December, but that does not set Scranton's date. Hold off on non-refundable travel until a date is confirmed.

SantaCon cities in Pennsylvania with confirmed dates on our list include Pittsburgh (Dec 19), Bethlehem (Dec 12) and Lancaster (Dec 12). Check each event page for the date that fits your plans. Check driving time and parking ahead of time. Dates and details can change, so recheck each event page before you travel.

Expect a costume-heavy holiday bar crawl: Santa suits, elf outfits and plenty of red and green as the crowd heads from bar to bar. Because it is a group event, you will share bars with other costumed guests rather than having a venue to yourself. For specifics about Scranton, including what a ticket covers, read the event page. Going with friends makes it easier, since the night is more fun in a group.

Dress festive. Santa gear is the standard, though any holiday character fits the crawl. Expect cold in Scranton 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.

We do not list bar names here because venues are not confirmed in the data behind this page; the Scranton event page is the place to look. Venue lists can change, so look again closer to the event date. Follow the organizer for announcements about start points. Walking distances between bars matter, so note them before choosing shoes.

Expect to be 21 or older. The 21-and-over drinking law applies in Scranton just as it does nationwide. Individual bars can set stricter entry rules than the law requires. Never drive after drinking; plan a ride before you go. Do not lend your ID to anyone, since it will not work for them.

Registration and ticket details for Scranton sit on the event page rather than here. Buy only through the checkout link shown there so you know you are paying the right organizer. Be cautious with third-party resale listings. Compare any bundle options only after confirming the date matches your plans.
