SANTACON

Philadelphia SantaCon is a ticketed, 21+ holiday bar crawl built around Santa suits, elf outfits and reindeer antlers. Check in, take your wristband, and move through participating bars on your own schedule, using the deals each one offers. Old City is part of Center City, on its eastern edge toward the Delaware River. SEPTA’s Market-Frankford Line and Broad Street Line both run through Center City, which makes leaving the car at home a realistic plan. Venue details come later, the check-in location, bar lineup and schedule all reach you through event information after confirmation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Philadelphia SantaCon

What is Philadelphia SantaCon?

Short version, a ticketed holiday pub crawl where Santas, elves and reindeer move through participating Philadelphia bars on a single wristband. Buy a ticket ahead of time to take part.

When does Philadelphia SantaCon start?

No guesswork needed, times sit in the event details at the top of this page. Your ticket and event information name the confirmed check-in venue.

What is included with my ticket?

Plenty. You get an event wristband, entry to participating bars, bar-offered deals and a digital crawl map. Drinks are bought separately, and ticket types vary, so read the one you pick.

Do I have to be 21 to join?

Yes, and it is quick to sort out. Guests must be 21 or older and show a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in. A phone photo of the card will not do, so bring the real one.

Can I use SEPTA to get around?

SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line and Broad Street Line both run through Center City. Transit beats driving when drinks are involved, so look up evening schedules before you leave.

Can I join the crawl late?

Possibly, but check the confirmed check-in window in your event information first. You need to check in to collect your wristband, so arriving after the window closes could leave you outside the crawl.

What should I wear to the crawl?

Pick a Santa suit, elf outfit or antlers, then add real warmth underneath. Philadelphia winters are cold, with highs around 46 and lows near 31 degrees Fahrenheit, and you will be walking between stops, so comfortable shoes matter more than shiny boots.

Do I need to visit every bar?

No. The route is yours to run at your own pace within event hours. Visit as many participating bars as you like and use the digital map to skip any you prefer to pass.
