About
Austin, TX
SANTACON

Austin SantaCon is a ticketed 21+ holiday bar crawl. You check in, collect a wristband, then visit participating Austin bars as Santa, an elf or any holiday character you can pull together, with deals offered by those bars. Sixth Street and Rainey Street are both downtown nightlife districts, and CapMetro runs buses plus the Red Line rail service into Downtown Austin. Winters here are mild, so the suit works, though a jacket helps. Your digital map shows the stops. Check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule details arrive with your event information, so look them over before you head downtown.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Austin TX SantaCon

What is Austin SantaCon?

A ticketed holiday bar crawl where guests in Santa gear visit participating Austin bars on one wristband. It is separate from other Santa-themed events around town, so make sure you are buying the right ticket.

When does Austin SantaCon start?

Read the event details at the top of this page for start and end times. Check-in runs on its own window, so find yours in the event information.

What comes with my ticket?

Expect a wristband, participating bar access, those bars' own deals and a digital map. Anything you order is extra, so plan your spending around that.

Is Austin SantaCon 21 and over?

Yes. Guests must be 21 or older and show a valid government-issued photo ID. Bars check it at the door regardless of your wristband, so carry the physical card.

Where do I check in?

Your confirmed check-in venue comes with your ticket and event information. Check in there first to get your wristband and digital map, within the window shown on your ticket.

How should I get around downtown Austin?

CapMetro runs buses and the Red Line rail service into Downtown Austin, and rideshare is another way home. Decide how you are getting back before the night starts.

Do I need a jacket in Austin?

Probably a light one. Austin winters are mild, though cold snaps do happen, so check the forecast. Wear your costume with a layer you can remove.

Can I join the crawl late?

Yes, within the check-in window listed in your event information. You need to check in before a wristband gets you into bars, so confirm your window before planning a late arrival.
