Location

Bakersfield SantaCon is a ticketed Santa bar crawl. Dress in red, get your wristband at check-in, and spend the event moving through participating bars, each with deals of its own, as fast or slowly as you like. Bakersfield sits near the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, and Golden Empire Transit runs buses across greater Bakersfield from a downtown transit center. Your digital map marks every stop, so you needn’t memorize the route. Where you check in, which bars make the lineup and how the night is paced will arrive in your event information after confirmation.

THE EVENT DETAILS

Everything important, without the wall of text.

One wristband

Check in once and keep one band on; participating Bakersfield bars recognize it.

Event route

Digital map in hand, you decide which participating stop comes first.

Holiday drink specials

Deals are offered by participating bars, and drinks are bought as you go.

Christmas party energy

Winter fog is common in the valley, so a costume with a warm layer works.

That is still to be confirmed. This page's event details, along with your ticket information, will carry the date, start time and check-in specifics once they are set.

Where do I pick up my wristband?

At the check-in venue that your event information names after confirmation. Only check-in issues the wristband and digital map, so head there before visiting any participating bar.
