Lansing SantaCon

Michigan’s capital city, in Santa suits, one wristband, participating Lansing bars and a digital map. Pick a ticket and add a scarf.

Event Time

Location

Lansing SantaCon is a ticketed Santa bar crawl. Check in, collect your wristband, and spend the event working through participating bars, each of which sets its own deals, in whatever order your group prefers. The Grand River runs through downtown Lansing, Old Town sits north of downtown, and CATA buses meet at a transportation center downtown. Your digital map marks every stop, so nobody has to remember the route. Event information, sent once everything is confirmed, covers the check-in venue, the lineup of bars and the schedule.

THE EVENT DETAILS

Everything important, without the wall of text.

One wristband

Check in once, then use the same band at every participating Lansing bar.

Event route

A digital map shows the stops; linking them is up to your group.

Holiday drink specials

Participating bars supply the deals, and drinks are bought at each stop.

Christmas party energy

Holiday-season highs average in the mid 30s, so a coat goes under the beard.

WHAT YOU GET WITH YOUR TICKET

The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.

Participating Bar Access

Wristband entry at the participating Lansing bars on your crawl map.

Exclusive Drink Specials

Individual bars choose their offers; drinks are not provided by default.

Event Wristband

Collected at check-in and worn until you head out for good.

Digital Crawl Map

Participating stops on your phone, strung together your own way.

Festive Party Atmosphere

Santas, elves and reindeer crowded into the same rooms as you.

Photo-Ready Moments

Group outfits in a cold-weather setting give the photos some character.

PARTICIPATING VENUES

Your event information confirms the participating Lansing bars, and the digital map displays them. Lineups can change, and each bar picks its own specials. Old Town is a historic district north of downtown, but the confirmed map, not the neighborhood, sets your route.

SIMPLE STEPS

Buy Your Ticket

Select the Lansing ticket for your group and complete checkout online. All sales are final, so confirm everyone's plans before paying.

Visit the participating bars in the order you choose, ask about event deals at each, and keep the wristband on.

Keep the Celebration Going

Stop whenever you wish. If something extra is planned for the end, your event information will mention it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Lansing SantaCon

What is Lansing SantaCon?

It is a Santa-themed bar crawl with tickets. Guests check in, get a wristband and move through participating Lansing bars. Other, earlier SantaCon-style gatherings in town are separate from this ticketed event.

When does Lansing SantaCon start?

No date is confirmed yet. When the schedule is set, the date, start time and check-in details will appear in the event details on this page and in your ticket information.

Where do I check in?

The venue is named in your ticket information after confirmation. Check-in is the only place that issues wristbands and the digital map, so begin there rather than at a bar.

What is covered by a ticket?

You get a wristband, entry to participating bars, whatever deals those bars decide to run, and a digital map. Drinks themselves are not automatically free. Tiers vary, so read yours.

Do I need ID to attend?

Yes, 21 or older, with a valid government-issued photo ID. Individual bars can ask for ID separately from the wristband, so carry the real card.

How cold is Lansing during the holidays?

Properly cold. Average holiday-season highs are near 36 and lows near 23, with about 11 inches of snow in a typical month. Wear insulated layers, gloves and boots.

Can I use CATA buses downtown?

CATA's main hub is its transportation center in downtown Lansing, and its buses serve Ingham County and parts of neighboring counties. Check current routes and hours before relying on one to get home.

Can an office or club book together?

Yes, ask. A party of 20 or more may get discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages if you send a request through the group form lower on this page.
