Location
Minneapolis SantaCon is a ticketed crawl for adults 21 and over dressed as Santas, elves and reindeer. Buy a ticket, check in for your wristband, then walk the participating bars in any order and at any speed your group likes. The North Loop, Warehouse District and Uptown anchor Minneapolis nightlife, METRO light rail serves downtown, and enclosed skyway bridges link buildings across the core. Your digital map shows the participating stops. Expect the check-in address and the final bar list in your event information, sent once both are locked in.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
The bars on your route are confirmed through your event information and drawn on the digital map. Lineups can change, and every bar sets its own specials. Minneapolis has plenty of nightlife in the Warehouse District, North Loop and Uptown, yet your route is whatever the map lists, nothing more.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Choose your Minneapolis ticket and check out online. Sales are final, so confirm your crew and plans before you buy.
Take a valid government-issued photo ID to the confirmed check-in venue. Staff hand over your wristband and digital map there.
Work through the participating bars at your own pace, ask about event deals and warm up between stops.
Finish when you are ready. Anything extra planned for the end of the evening appears in your event information.
The essentials for planning your Minneapolis SantaCon
A ticket is required. Minneapolis SantaCon is a paid holiday bar crawl where people in Santa gear use one wristband at participating bars, so it is a different thing from any free meetup.
The confirmed check-in venue is sent with your ticket and event information, not posted here. Go there before visiting any bar, because that is where the wristband and map are collected.
Ticket holders get an event wristband, entry to participating bars, those bars' deals and a digital map. Drinks are paid for separately, so set aside money for your own rounds.
Yes. You must be 21 or older and carry a valid government-issued photo ID, since bars check ID separately from the wristband. Expired or photocopied IDs may be turned away.
Winter in Minneapolis is known for cold, snowy weather, so plan for a real coat. Wear the costume over thermal layers and boots with grip, and expect to shed layers inside warm bars.
METRO light rail serves downtown Minneapolis, but not every neighborhood, so check where the map's stops fall before relying on it. Rideshare is the safer plan for the ride home.
No minimum applies. Hit as many participating bars as you want while the event runs, skip the rest, and treat the digital map as a suggestion rather than a to-do list.
Ask about group rates once you reach 20 people. Groups that size may qualify for discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages; send details through the form on this page.
Pick your pass and get ready to join the party.
