About
Chattanooga, TN
SANTACON

Chattanooga SantaCon is a ticketed, 21+ holiday bar crawl. Guests check in, collect an event wristband, then visit participating bars in Santa suits, elf outfits or reindeer gear, using the deals those bars offer as they go. The Southside district, between 12th and 20th Streets, has plenty of bars and nightlife, while the North Shore across the Tennessee River is a separate area known for shops along Frazier Avenue. Your digital map shows which bars actually count. Expect the check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule in your event information, so hang on to that message.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Chattanooga SantaCon

What is Chattanooga SantaCon?

Think costumed bar-hopping on one wristband. You need a ticket, and it covers participating Chattanooga bars only, so buy yours before heading out.

When does the crawl start?

Short answer, look at the event details near the top of this page. Your event information then fills in the check-in venue and the rest of the day.

What does the ticket cover?

Mostly access. You get the wristband, entry to participating bars, their deals and a digital map. Drinks are not automatically free, so plan to buy your own rounds.

Is Chattanooga SantaCon 21 and over?

Yes, 21 or older only. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID in physical form, since bars may check it on top of your wristband.

Do I need to visit every bar?

Nope. Set your own pace within event hours and choose the stops your group likes. The digital map lists every participating bar, so skipping or doubling back is fine.

Which Chattanooga neighborhoods will I walk?

The lineup is not fixed on this page. The Southside has plenty of nightlife and the North Shore, across the river, has a Frazier Avenue shopping strip, but your map shows the real stops.

Should I take CARTA or a ride-share?

CARTA is the city's public transit provider, and its website lists routes and schedules, so check gocarta.org before relying on it. A ride-share is another option for the trip home.

How cold does a Chattanooga winter night get?

Winter highs average about 53 degrees Fahrenheit and lows about 35, so it gets chilly after dark. Wear layers under the costume and shoes you can walk in.
