SANTACON

This Louisville SantaCon is a ticketed, 21+ holiday bar crawl. You check in, collect a wristband, and visit participating bars in costume at your own pace, using the deals each stop offers along the way. Bardstown Road runs through the Highlands, NuLu is the East Market District just east of downtown, and Fourth Street Live is a downtown entertainment district. Winter nights in Louisville run cold. Your digital map shows which stops are in the lineup. Which venue hosts check-in, which bars are in and how the schedule runs, your event information answers all three.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Louisville SantaCon

What is this Louisville SantaCon?

This Louisville SantaCon is a ticketed holiday crawl, costumed guests visit participating bars on one wristband. A ticket from this page is required, and it is separate from other local holiday gatherings.

When does Louisville SantaCon begin?

Start and end times sit in the event details up at the top of the page. The check-in venue itself is sent with your ticket and event information.

What does the ticket include?

Wristband, participating bar access, bar-offered deals and a digital crawl map come with the ticket. Drinks are not automatically free, so keep a card handy.

Do I need ID to join?

Yes. You need to be 21 or older and carry a valid government-issued photo ID to show at check-in. A phone photo will not do, so bring the physical card.

Do I have to visit every participating bar?

No. Go at your own pace within event hours and skip any stop you want. The map shows the full lineup, and your wristband works at each participating bar.

How cold does a Louisville crawl get?

Winters in Louisville bring a mix of rain, sleet and snow, and evenings sit near freezing, so you will feel it while walking outdoors. Put thermal layers and a warm coat under your costume, and wear comfortable shoes.

Can I take TARC between bars?

TARC is Louisville's main public transit agency and runs buses in the area, so check its schedule yourself, evenings included. Rideshare is worth planning too, and drivers should skip the drinks.

Where is Bardstown Road?

Bardstown Road runs through the Highlands and is known for its restaurants. Your digital map shows the actual stops, so plan rides if they sit in different neighborhoods.
