About
Bethlehem, PA
SANTACON

Bethlehem calls itself Christmas City, so a Santa crawl fits the setting. Guests check in, take an event wristband and move through participating bars in holiday costume, using whatever deals those bars offer along the way. The South Side sits along the Lehigh River, and the SteelStacks campus there hosts Christkindlmarkt, a separate event. Winters are cold, so dress warm. Your digital map shows where the crawl actually goes. The check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule reach you through your event information once the details are confirmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Bethlehem SantaCon

What is Bethlehem SantaCon?

Picture a ticketed holiday crawl in Santa gear, hopping through participating Bethlehem bars on one wristband. Buy a ticket to join, and keep in mind the crawl stands apart from the town's holiday festivals.

Is this part of Christkindlmarkt?

No. Christkindlmarkt at SteelStacks is a separate holiday market, and a ticket to one does not cover the other. Your SantaCon ticket and event information tell you where this crawl checks in.

Where do I check in?

Check-in is at a venue confirmed in your ticket and event information, where you collect the wristband and digital map. Read the check-in window ahead of time so you are not hunting for it.

How do I get there and back?

Rideshare is the simplest way to skip the parking question. Whichever way you travel, plan your ride home before the night starts.

How cold will Bethlehem be?

Expect cold Lehigh Valley winter weather, with lows that often fall below freezing. Wear thermal layers under the costume, add gloves, and choose shoes that handle cold pavement.

How old do I need to be?

The crawl is 21+ only. Show a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in, and keep it on you, since bars can ask again.

Can I join late?

Joining late depends on the check-in window confirmed in your event information. Arrive within it, because that is where the wristband and map are handed out.

Can I come as a group?

Yes. Friends can buy tickets and check in together, and larger parties can ask about group packages through the booking form further down the page. Everyone still needs 21+ ID.
