About
Albuquerque, NM
SANTACON

Albuquerque SantaCon is a ticketed Christmas crawl where guests turn up in Santa hats, elf gear or the whole red suit. Check in one time, take your wristband, and then hop between participating bars as slowly or quickly as your group likes. Central Avenue runs past Nob Hill, Downtown and Old Town, and the ART bus line serves stations along the same corridor. Your digital map marks every stop, so nobody has to guess which block comes next. Once everything is locked in, your event information names the check-in venue and the bars on the route.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Albuquerque SantaCon

What is Albuquerque SantaCon?

Think of it as a ticketed holiday crawl, guests dress as Santa and visit participating Albuquerque bars on one wristband. You need a ticket, since this is no open meetup.

When does the crawl start?

Look at the event details at the top of this page for start and end times. Your ticket's event information confirms the check-in window.

What does my ticket include?

Count on a wristband, access to participating bars, the deals those bars offer and a digital map. Drinks stay a separate purchase, and ticket types vary, so check the one you buy.

How old do I have to be?

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and be 21 or older. Bars can ask for ID even when you wear the wristband, so keep the card on you.

How cold does Albuquerque get at night?

Winter lows in Albuquerque usually fall below freezing, and afternoons stay cool. Layer a thermal under your costume and wear closed shoes, because you will be outside between bars.

The ART bus line serves stations along Central Avenue, including Nob Hill, UNM, Downtown and Old Town. Check the current schedule before you go so your ride home is planned.
