Event Time

Location

Portland, Maine SantaCon is a ticketed pub crawl for guests 21 and over. After check-in and wristband pickup, drift between participating bars in Santa suits, elf hats or antlers, using the deals each stop offers. This is the Maine city on Casco Bay, not Oregon. The Old Port is known for its cobblestone streets and preserved warehouses, and winter here is properly cold and snowy, so plan for it. Event information brings the check-in venue, bar lineup and final schedule as soon as each is confirmed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Portland ME SantaCon

Is this Portland, Maine or Portland, Oregon?

This page covers Portland, Maine. Portland, Oregon has its own SantaCon with separate tickets, so check the city and state on your order before you buy, since sales are final.

What does my ticket include?

Your ticket brings four things, an event wristband, bar access, the deals those bars offer and a digital crawl map. Drinks are not automatically free, and tiers may differ.

When does the crawl start?

Easy to find, times are posted in the event details at the top of this page. The check-in venue and window arrive with your event information.

Where do I check in?

Your event information names the confirmed check-in venue. Head there first, since wristbands and digital maps are given out only at check-in, not at the bars.

How old do I need to be?

Plan to be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID. Staff at check-in and the bars can ask for the physical card, so keep it on you.

How cold does Portland get during the crawl?

Portland winters are cold, snowy and often prolonged, with average lows around 22 degrees Fahrenheit. Wear thermals, waterproof boots, a hat and gloves under your costume.

How do I get to downtown Portland by train?

The Amtrak Downeaster runs to the Portland Transportation Center, next to Thompson's Point, and Greater Portland METRO Route 1 also serves that station. Check current schedules before you travel.

Do I have to visit every bar?

Not at all. Pop into the participating bars that suit you, in whatever order you fancy, while event hours last. The map suggests stops; it does not assign them.
