About
Pittsburgh, PA
SANTACON

Pittsburgh SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests in Santa suits, elf outfits and antlers. You check in, collect a wristband, then work through participating bars at your own speed, with event deals offered along the way. East Carson Street in the South Side Flats is home to a big share of Pittsburgh’s nightlife, with many bars and restaurants, which suits a costume crawl in winter. Your digital map shows the stops, so you spend less time standing around in the cold. Once confirmed, the check-in venue, bar lineup and final schedule land in your event information, so read it before leaving the house.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Pittsburgh SantaCon

What is Pittsburgh SantaCon?

Nothing complicated, a ticketed holiday pub crawl where Santa-suited guests visit participating Pittsburgh bars on one wristband. You need a ticket in hand before you go.

Where does Pittsburgh SantaCon take place?

The crawl centers on the South Side along East Carson Street. Your confirmed check-in venue and participating bars come with your event information and appear on the digital map.

What time does it start?

No need to guess, the start and end times sit in the event details at the top of this page, and your event information lists the confirmed check-in window.

What does my ticket include?

A wristband, entry to participating bars, bar-offered deals and a digital crawl map are all in the ticket. Drinks are not automatically free, and ticket types can differ.

What ID do I need?

Do not stress, it is one thing, be 21 or older and carry a valid government-issued photo ID. Bring the actual card, since both check-in staff and bars may look at it.

How cold will Pittsburgh be?

Cold. Pittsburgh winters are cold and snowy, with highs around 41 and lows near 27 degrees Fahrenheit. Layer under your costume and wear shoes with good grip.

Should I drive to the South Side?

Skip the car if you can. A rideshare or taxi keeps the night simple once drinks are involved, so agree on a ride home with your crew before the first stop.

Can I book for a group?

Groups get options. At 20 or more guests you may qualify for discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages, requested via the form further down this page.
