Location
Chicago SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl, guests in Santa suits and elf gear moving through participating bars on one wristband. Check in, pick up your digital map, then set your own pace. River North, the Loop and Wrigleyville are all Chicago neighborhoods with bars, and CTA L trains serve the Loop and Wrigleyville. Winter lows average below freezing, so a wristband that gets you indoors helps. Look in your event information for the check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule before you leave the house.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
Your event information confirms the participating Chicago bars, and the digital map shows them. Lineups can change, and every bar sets its own specials. Chicago’s nightlife is spread across several neighborhoods, so rely on the map rather than a guess about where the route goes, and check how you will travel between stops.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Select the Chicago ticket that fits your crew and buy online. Sales are final, so settle the group before you pay.
ID first, wristband second. At the confirmed check-in venue, a valid government-issued photo ID gets you your wristband and digital map.
Use the map to move between participating bars at your own pace, and ask each bar about the event specials.
Wrap up when you are ready and check the CTA schedule for your trip home. Anything extra planned will be in your event information.
The essentials for planning your Chicago SantaCon
It is a 21+ costume crawl through participating Chicago bars. Your ticket gets you a wristband and map; the wristband is what each bar checks.
Start and end times are in the event details near the top of this page. Your event information adds the check-in window, so keep that message handy.
Wherever your ticket says. The confirmed check-in venue and window arrive with your event information, and the wristband and digital map are handed out there.
Yes. Guests must be 21 or older and carry a valid government-issued photo ID. Bars check it separately from your wristband, so keep the physical card handy.
Mostly the basics, wristband, access to participating bars, their deals and a digital crawl map. Drinks are not automatically free, and ticket types can differ.
It is a good option. CTA L trains serve the Loop and Wrigleyville, so check the CTA schedule for your line and your trip home before the evening gets away from you.
Cold enough to plan for. Average winter lows in Chicago sit below freezing, so put the Santa suit over thermal layers and bring gloves and a hat.
No. Go at your own pace within the event hours. Chicago is big, so pick the stops that suit your group instead of chasing every bar.
Pick your pass and get ready to join the party.
