About
Norfolk, VA
SANTACON

Norfolk SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and over. You check in, pick up an event wristband, and move between participating bars in Santa suits, elf outfits or ugly sweaters, whenever you feel like it. Ghent is the Norfolk neighborhood where this crawl is based, and winter days in Norfolk typically top out between the upper 40s and mid 50s Fahrenheit, so plan for a cool evening. The digital map keeps the route simple while you focus on staying comfortable. Check-in details, the participating bar list and the schedule reach you in your event information, not through this page.

The essentials for planning your Norfolk SantaCon

What is Norfolk SantaCon?

It is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and older, with one wristband covering participating Norfolk bars. You need a ticket to join, so buy before the day.

When does the Norfolk crawl begin?

Find start and end times in the event details at the top of this page. After you buy, your check-in window arrives with the rest of your event information.

Where do I pick up my wristband?

At the check-in venue named in your event information. Collect your wristband and digital map there before visiting any participating bar, and bring your photo ID.

How cold will Norfolk be?

Norfolk winters are usually mild, with highs from the upper 40s to the mid 50s Fahrenheit and lows near or just above freezing. Wear a warm layer under your costume and bring gloves, since much of the night is spent walking outdoors.
