Location

Boulder SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl where costumes are encouraged and the plan is simple. Check in for a wristband and digital map, then drop into participating bars whenever you feel like it. Boulder is a college town, home to the flagship University of Colorado campus. Holiday-season highs average about 46 F with lows near 21 and plenty of snow, so dress for the cold. Bar lineup, check-in venue and schedule are confirmed in the event information sent with your ticket.

THE EVENT DETAILS

Everything important, without the wall of text.

One wristband

A single band from check-in covers every participating Boulder stop.

Event route

Your digital map orders the stops; walking pace and sequence are yours.

Holiday drink specials

Participating bars decide their deals. Drinks cost extra at each counter.

Christmas party energy

Santa suits over base layers, because snow is normal here.

Collected at check-in, worn throughout the crawl.

Digital Crawl Map

A phone map of participating stops, no printing required.

Festive Party Atmosphere

Santa hats and antlers crowding the same rooms you do.

PARTICIPATING VENUES

Boulder’s participating bars are listed in your event information and on the digital map, which is the version to follow if anything changes. Each bar sets its own specials. Pearl Street Mall is a well-known downtown address, but the map, not the mall, determines where this crawl stops.
