About
New Orleans, LA
SANTACON

New Orleans SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and older. Check in, collect your event wristband, then visit participating bars at whatever pace suits you, dressed as Santa, an elf, a reindeer or something stranger. The French Quarter is known for its nightlife along Bourbon Street, and the neighboring Marigny is known for live music venues. RTA runs the city’s streetcars, though routes change, so confirm before you rely on one. Check-in location, participating bars and the final plan for the day are sent with your event information once everything is confirmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your New Orleans SantaCon

What is New Orleans SantaCon?

A ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and older, run on one wristband across participating New Orleans bars. It is separate from any free Santa gathering, so you need a ticket to take part.

When does New Orleans SantaCon begin?

Times are not repeated in this answer. Read the event details at the top of this page, and watch for your check-in window in the information sent after purchase.

Where is check-in held?

Check-in is held at a venue confirmed in your event information, which reaches you after you buy. Go there first to collect the wristband and digital map before you visit any bar.

What does my ticket include?

Your ticket buys an event wristband, entry to participating bars, those bars' deals and a digital map. Drinks are not part of the price, and ticket types can differ.

Should I plan for rain?

New Orleans winters are short and generally mild, with rain usually arriving alongside passing cold fronts. A light waterproof layer over your costume and shoes you do not mind soaking are both sensible.

Can I use the streetcar?

The RTA operates the city's streetcar lines, but routes and service change. Check the current RTA schedule before you rely on it, and keep a rideshare option ready for the trip home.

Do I need to visit every bar?

No. You can pick the stops that suit your group and skip the rest, as long as you stay within event hours. The digital map shows what is available.

Are there deals for big groups?

For 20 or more people, ask about group pricing. Such parties may qualify for discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages; use the booking form below and share your headcount.
