SantaCon in State College, PA

No confirmed date is on file for SantaCon State College at the moment. Check the State College event page for the latest status, since it is the source for scheduling.

The theme is Santa and the holidays, so a red outfit with a Santa hat is the easy starting point. Dress for the cold with insulated boots, warm socks and a costume that works with a winter jacket. Comfortable shoes matter because you will be walking between bars. Test the outfit at home so you know it stays put.

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. It runs casual and social, with plenty of photo-worthy costumes in every bar you step into. Treat this page as a starting point and the event page as the source for the particulars. Going with friends makes it easier, since the night is more fun in a group.

Participating bars and the route are not named on this page. Open the SantaCon State College event page for whatever the organizer has posted.
