About
Lancaster, PA
SANTACON

Lancaster SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for adults in Santa suits, ugly sweaters, elf outfits and antlers. Check in, pick up your wristband, then visit participating bars at whatever pace suits your group. Penn Square, home of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, is a well-known reference point in Lancaster. Lancaster County winters run cold after dark, though, which is why your digital map matters less than your coat. Your check-in venue, bar lineup and the final schedule are shared in your event information after they are confirmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Lancaster SantaCon

What is Lancaster SantaCon?

It is a ticketed holiday bar crawl where costumed guests visit participating Lancaster bars on one wristband. It is separate from other Santa events in town, so make sure your ticket is for this one.

What time does the crawl begin?

Start and end both appear in the event details up top. Your ticket and event information then add the confirmed check-in window, so read both before you set out.

How do I find check-in?

The confirmed check-in venue is included with your ticket and event information. Arrive there first, because that is where wristbands and digital maps are handed out.

What is covered by my ticket?

Think of the ticket as a package, wristband, access to participating bars, whatever deals those bars offer, plus a digital crawl map. The drinks are not automatically free, and ticket tiers can differ.

Is there an age minimum?

Twenty-one is the minimum, and a valid government-issued photo ID backs it up. Bars check ID on their own, separate from your wristband, so keep the physical card handy.

Where is Penn Square?

Penn Square, where the Soldiers and Sailors Monument stands, is a handy landmark in the city. Wear comfortable shoes and check the map for the actual distances between stops.

How cold will it be in Lancaster?

Winter evenings in Lancaster run cold, with overnight lows averaging in the upper 20s. Layer a warm base under your costume and carry gloves, because you will be outdoors between stops.

Can my group book together?

Yes. Groups of 20 or more may be offered private party packages, reserved check-in, VIP perks and discounts. The group booking form below is where to ask.
