SANTACON

Pacific Beach SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for people in Santa hats, elf outfits and reindeer gear. Check in, collect a wristband, then move through participating bars at your own pace with event deals along the way. PB is a San Diego beach neighborhood, and Garnet Avenue is lined with bars and eateries. Your digital crawl map shows the participating stops, so you never need to guess which door is next. Look for the check-in venue, bar lineup and final schedule in your event information, sent after everything is confirmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Pacific Beach SantaCon

What is Pacific Beach SantaCon?

Tickets are required. Pacific Beach SantaCon is a paid holiday bar crawl where guests in Santa gear use one wristband at participating bars, unlike any free community Santa gathering.

Where do I check in?

Your confirmed check-in venue and check-in window come with your ticket information. Start there, since your wristband and digital map are handed out at check-in.

What does my ticket include?

Included, an event wristband, access to participating bars, those bars' deals and a digital crawl map. Drinks cost extra, and each bar sets its own specials.

Can I carry drinks outside the bars?

Drink inside the participating bars and leave open drinks behind when you step outside. Rules for public areas differ by location, so follow posted signs and local law near the beach and boardwalk.

How should I get to Pacific Beach?

Plan your ride before the crawl begins. Rideshare or a designated driver is the safer plan for a night of bars, so choose your pickup spot ahead of time and never drive after drinking.

How old do I need to be?

You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID. Bring the physical card, because bars can check ID again even after you have your wristband.

Do I have to visit every bar?

No. Move between participating bars at your own pace within the event hours, and skip any stop you like. The event start and end times are listed in the event details at the top of this page.

Can I book for a group?

Groups of 20 or more can ask about group perks through the booking form below. Possible options include discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages.
