About
Richmond, VA
SANTACON

Richmond SantaCon is a ticketed 21+ holiday bar crawl. You check in, collect your event wristband, then visit participating bars in costume, picking up the deals those bars offer at whatever pace suits your group. Jackson Ward has local bars and restaurants, Scott’s Addition is known for its breweries and cideries, and GRTC’s Pulse bus runs along Broad Street through central Richmond. Your digital map shows the actual stops. Your check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule come through your event information once they are confirmed, so keep it close.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Richmond SantaCon

What is Richmond SantaCon?

Easy answer, a ticketed holiday pub crawl where costumed guests visit participating Richmond bars on a single wristband. A ticket is needed, so get yours before the day.

What do I get with a ticket?

Each ticket gets you a wristband for the event, bar access, deals offered by those bars and a digital map to navigate. Drinks are not automatically free, so carry a payment card.

How old do I have to be?

You must be 21 or older and carry a valid government-issued photo ID. Bars check the ID in addition to the wristband, so leave the physical card in your pocket.

When does check-in happen?

The check-in window is confirmed in your event information, and the overall start and end times sit in the event details at the top of this page. Collect your wristband before you head to any bar.

Do I have to hit every bar?

No. Visit as many as you like at your own pace within the event hours. The map shows each participating stop so you can skip one or return to a favorite.

How do I get around Richmond?

GRTC buses, including the Pulse on Broad Street, run through central Richmond, but check schedules before relying on a late ride. A rideshare or designated driver is the safer plan.

How cold is a Richmond winter night?

Winter highs hover around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and lows dip near freezing. Put a warm layer under the suit and wear shoes that survive a long walk between stops.

Can I book for a group?

Absolutely. A party of 20 or more may qualify for discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages; scroll to the group section below to send your details.
