About
Asheville, NC
SANTACON

Asheville SantaCon is a ticketed 21+ crawl for guests dressed as Santa, elves or reindeer. After one check-in you wear the wristband and wander through participating bars in whatever order and at whatever pace your group picks. The South Slope brewery district sits just south of downtown, and Asheville’s place in the Blue Ridge Mountains means winter nights run cold. Your digital crawl map shows the stops, so you can dress for the weather and skip the guesswork. Your event information carries the check-in venue, the bar lineup and the schedule as soon as they are settled.

THE EVENT DETAILS

Everything important, without the wall of text.

One wristband

Check in once, then wear one wristband at participating Asheville bars.

Event route

A digital map covers the downtown and South Slope area, so nobody leads from memory.

Holiday drink specials

Participating bars set the deals. The drinks themselves stay on your own tab.

Christmas party energy

Santa suits, elf ears and thermal layers hidden underneath. Mountain winters are real.

SIMPLE STEPS

From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.

Buy Your Ticket

Pick a ticket for your whole crew and pay online. Every sale is final, so check headcount with your friends before you buy.

Visit Bars & Enjoy

Pick your next participating Asheville bar whenever your group is ready, ask what deals are on and leave the wristband in place.

Keep the Celebration Going

Call it a night whenever you are ready. If the organizers add something for the end of the evening, it will appear in your event information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Asheville SantaCon

What is Asheville SantaCon?

Think ticketed holiday crawl, guests in Santa gear, participating Asheville bars, one wristband. Buy a ticket before the night, because showing up empty-handed will not work.

Where do I check in?

Open your ticket email to find the confirmed check-in venue, then go straight there. Wristbands and digital maps are handed out only at that desk.

What does my ticket include?

Expect a wristband, access to participating bars, those bars' own deals and a digital map. Drinks are not part of the package unless a bar says otherwise, so budget for them.

How old do I need to be?

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, and be 21 or older. Keep the real card in your pocket, since bars may ask to see it again after check-in.

How cold does Asheville get at night?

Winter nights in the Blue Ridge Mountains often drop to about freezing, and snow is possible. Wear thermal layers under your costume, plus gloves, a hat and shoes that handle cold pavement.

Should I drive to the crawl?

A ride-share is easier, and it removes the question of driving home after bar stops. Plan your trip back before the night starts and agree on a meeting point with your group.

Do I have to visit every bar?

Skip what you like. Pick any participating bars, in any order, as long as it is within event hours. The map is a menu, not a checklist.

Can I book for a group?

Submit the group booking form below when your party hits 20 or more. Groups that large may qualify for discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages.
