Cleveland SantaCon

Dress up, check in and cover participating Cleveland bars on one wristband. Bring a warm base layer, because lake-effect weather does not care about your costume.

About
Cleveland, OH
SANTACON

Cleveland SantaCon is a ticketed, 21+ holiday bar crawl where guests in Santa suits and elf gear visit participating bars together. You check in, take your wristband, and move through the stops at your own speed. Warehouse District, Ohio City and Playhouse Square are all Cleveland districts, and RTA trains stop at Tower City. Your digital map shows the participating stops, so the route never depends on memory. Your event information holds the check-in venue, bar lineup and full schedule, sent once everything is confirmed.

THE EVENT DETAILS

Everything important, without the wall of text.

One wristband

One check-in, one wristband, every participating Cleveland bar on your map.

Event route

Your digital map lays out the stops, so the group can skip debates on the sidewalk.

Holiday drink specials

Bars hand out the deals. Drinks themselves are on you.

Christmas party energy

Santa suits over thermal layers, because Cleveland winters play for keeps.

PARTICIPATING VENUES

Cleveland’s participating bars are confirmed in your event information and listed on the digital map, so follow that lineup rather than word of mouth. Lineups can change, and every bar sets its own deals. The Warehouse District has restaurants and bars, but the map is the route.

Buy Your Ticket

Select the Cleveland ticket that fits your crew and check out online. Sales are final, so settle the guest list first.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Cleveland SantaCon

How does Cleveland SantaCon work?

You buy a ticket, check in to collect an event wristband, then visit participating bars at your own pace. A digital map shows the stops, so there is no fixed marching order.

Where does check-in happen?

Wherever your event information points. The check-in venue is sent with your ticket, and it is where the wristband and digital map change hands. Bars expect to see that wristband.

What does my ticket include?

Entry, mostly. The ticket buys a wristband, a spot at participating bars, whatever deals they offer and the digital map. Paying for individual drinks is still on you, and ticket types can differ.

Do I need ID to join?

Yes. You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID, and you will show it at check-in. Keep the physical card on you in case a bar asks again.

Is the crawl reachable without driving?

RTA trains stop at Tower City, and the HealthLine bus runs along Euclid Avenue from Public Square. Check the current RTA schedule for your return trip so you are not stuck looking for a ride.

How cold does Cleveland get for the crawl?

Winter highs hover around 40 degrees and lake-effect snow is common. Put your costume over warm layers, add gloves, and pick waterproof shoes for walking between bars.

Can I join the crawl late?

Possibly, but check the check-in window in your event information first. The wristband and map are only handed out at check-in, so arriving after it closes could leave you without both.

Can I get tickets for a group?

Probably. At 20 people or more, discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages may be available, and the form lower on this page starts the conversation.
