Charlotte SantaCon

A crawl, basically. Ticket holders in Santa gear move between participating Charlotte bars on one wristband, with a digital map to keep the route simple.

Short answer, wherever your event information says. The confirmed check-in venue is where the wristband and digital map change hands, so start there instead of at a random bar.

Twenty-one, no exceptions. Carry a valid government-issued photo ID in physical form, because a phone photo of it tends to lose arguments at the door.

Mostly bar access. The ticket covers the wristband, the participating bars, their deals and the digital map. Drinks themselves are not automatically free, so keep a card handy.

Nope. Hit as many participating bars as the day allows, skip the packed ones and loop back to favorites. The map suggests a route; it does not assign homework.

The LYNX Blue Line, run by CATS, serves Uptown and South End, so it can be an option between stops there. Check the CATS schedule for your trip home before the crawl begins.

A Charlotte winter typically brings highs in the mid 50s and lows in the mid 30s Fahrenheit, so a crawl on foot can feel chilly. Wear a warm layer under your costume and shoes you can walk in.

Sadly, no. Sales are final. A transfer or exchange might still be possible under your order terms, so read them and message the events team before the crawl.
