About
Milwaukee, WI
SANTACON

Milwaukee SantaCon is a ticketed 21+ holiday bar crawl. You check in, collect an event wristband, then visit participating bars in Santa suits, elf outfits or reindeer antlers, taking as long as you like at each one. Milwaukee winters are cold and snowy, so every costume needs a warm layer underneath. The Hop streetcar serves parts of downtown, including the Historic Third Ward and East Town. Your digital map handles the route. The check-in venue, bar lineup and full schedule reach you through your event information after confirmation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Milwaukee SantaCon

What is Milwaukee SantaCon?

A ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and older, using one wristband across participating Milwaukee bars. Buy your ticket ahead of time, since the wristband goes only to ticket holders.

When does Milwaukee SantaCon start?

Look to the event details at the top of this page for start and end times. The event information sent with your ticket confirms your check-in window.

Where is Milwaukee check-in held?

Your ticket and event information name the check-in venue; this page does not. Head there first, since wristbands and digital maps come from check-in only.

How cold will it be outside?

Winters in Milwaukee are cold and snowy, with overnight lows averaging in the low 20s. Wear thermal layers, a warm hat under or over the Santa one, and waterproof boots.

Can I take The Hop streetcar?
