Gainesville SantaCon is a ticketed Santa bar crawl. Costumes are the dress code, the wristband is your pass, and the participating bars set their own deals while you move between them at whatever pace suits your group. Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, and Regional Transit System buses serve the city and Alachua County from a downtown station. Your digital map shows the stops, so the route stays in your pocket. Where to check in, which bars take part and how the schedule runs will be in your event information after confirmation.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
The participating Gainesville bars come through your event information and appear on the digital map. Expect the list to be revised now and then, and expect each bar to run its own deals. Nothing here names a stop, because the confirmed lineup is the only one that counts.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Order the Gainesville ticket that fits your crew. Purchases are final, so make sure everyone can come before you pay.
Report to the check-in venue listed in your event information with a valid government-issued photo ID, then collect your wristband and digital map.
Hop between participating bars on your own schedule, ask each about event deals, and leave the wristband on.
Call it a night when you like. Any extra plans for the close of the crawl will be in your event information.
The essentials for planning your Gainesville SantaCon
A costume bar crawl with tickets. You wear a Santa look, check in for a wristband, and visit participating Gainesville bars. This page covers the ticketed crawl, which is separate from other local gatherings.
Unconfirmed for now. Date, start time and check-in details will be given in the event details on this page, alongside the information that comes with your ticket.
The venue is named in your ticket information after it is confirmed. Wristbands and the digital map are handed out only at check-in, so start there rather than at a bar.
Think wristband, participating-bar entry, bar-set deals and a digital map. Drinks are not automatically free, and tiers can differ, so check the description on the ticket you choose.
Anyone attending must be 21 or older and carry a valid government-issued photo ID. Bars can check ID on top of the wristband, so keep the physical card handy all night.
A jacket is enough. Average holiday-season highs reach about 69 and lows about 45, so the evening is the cold part. Put a warm layer under the Santa suit.
Regional Transit System buses serve Gainesville and Alachua County, and Downtown Station is a hub where many city routes begin or end. Check current routes before depending on a bus for the ride home.
Ask us. If your party is 20 or more, discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages may be available; the group form lower down is the place to ask.
Pick your pass and get ready to join the party.
