Location

Dayton SantaCon is a ticketed Christmas bar crawl for adults in Santa suits, elf outfits and reindeer gear. Check in once, collect your wristband and visit participating bars at your own speed, with deals offered by those bars. Dayton was founded along the Great Miami River, and its Oregon District is one of the city’s historic neighborhoods. Your digital map lists the bars taking part, so you do not need to guess at a route. Once your ticket is confirmed, the event information names the check-in venue, shows the bar lineup and lays out the schedule.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Dayton SantaCon

Is this the same as other Dayton Santa crawls?

This page covers a ticketed crawl with a wristband and participating bars. Other holiday gatherings in Dayton are separate, so confirm which event you are buying before you check out.

When does Dayton SantaCon start?

Look to the event details on this page and your ticket information for the confirmed date, start time and check-in window. Until those appear, nothing about the schedule is set.

Where do I check in?

The confirmed check-in venue is named in your ticket information. Start there, because the wristband and digital map are handed out only at check-in.

What is included with a ticket?

Your ticket includes an event wristband, entry to participating bars, bar-offered deals and a digital crawl map. Cover drink costs yourself, because none are automatically free.

What ID do I need?

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, since the minimum age is 21. Keep the physical card with you, as bars may check it apart from your wristband.

How cold is a Dayton winter night?

Plan on cold. Average winter highs sit around 41 degrees with lows near 27, and Dayton's winters are described as cold. Layer up under the costume and wear warm shoes.

Should I stay near the Oregon District?

Not necessarily. The Oregon District is one historic Dayton neighborhood, but your participating bars come from the event map. Follow that, and plan a ride home in advance.

Can I book for a group?

Groups are welcome to ask. If 20 or more of you are coming, the form near the bottom of this page covers discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages that may apply.
