About
Indianapolis, IN
SANTACON

Indianapolis SantaCon is a ticketed, 21+ holiday bar crawl. You check in, pick up an event wristband and a digital map, then visit participating bars at your own speed, with deals offered along the route. Mass Ave is one of the city’s cultural districts, and the Cultural Trail runs along it. IndyGo runs the city bus system, including the Red Line. Winters are cold, with winter highs averaging around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, so layer the costume. After you buy, watch your inbox, the event information confirms the check-in venue, the bars on the lineup and the schedule.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Indianapolis SantaCon

What is Indianapolis SantaCon?

Here is the idea, a ticketed Christmas bar crawl for adults 21 and older, with guests in Santa gear visiting participating Indianapolis bars on a single wristband. Entry requires a ticket.

What time does the crawl start?

The event details at the top of this page carry the start and end times. A check-in window and meeting point show up in your ticket information once you buy.

Where do I check in?

Look in your ticket and event information for the confirmed check-in venue. Go straight there, since only check-in hands out the wristband and digital map.

Do I have to visit every bar?

No. You move between participating bars at your own pace within event hours. Pick the stops that suit your group, and use the digital map to decide what to hit next.

How cold will it be in Indianapolis?

Winter here is properly cold, with winter lows averaging in the mid 20s Fahrenheit, so a costume alone will not cut it. Wear a warm coat over it, plus gloves and shoes that handle wet pavement.

Can I take IndyGo between bars?

IndyGo is the city's bus agency and runs the Red Line bus rapid transit route. Check the current timetable before you go, and plan a rideshare or other safe ride home.

Is the Cultural Trail good for getting around?

The Cultural Trail is an 8.1-mile shared-use path of tinted concrete pavers, with Mass Ave among the cultural districts along it. In icy weather watch your footing, particularly in costume footwear.

What happens if I can't make it?

Ticket transfers or exchanges may be possible, so read your order terms first. Sales are final and there are no refunds, which makes it worth confirming your plans before you buy.
