SantaCon in San Jose is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and older. You check in, collect a wristband and visit participating bars in costume, with deals offered by the bars and a digital map to guide you. Downtown San Jose includes the SoFA and San Pedro Square neighborhoods, and downtown is the hub of the VTA light rail system. San Jose winters are cool, so plan a layer for the evening. Details on where to check in, which bars are in and how the day runs follow in your event information once confirmed.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
San Jose’s participating bars are confirmed in your event information and plotted on the digital map. Lineups can change, and each bar sets its own specials, so treat the map as the final word. SoFA and San Pedro Square are downtown neighborhoods, though neither decides the actual route.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Pay for the San Jose ticket that matches your crew size. Sales are final, so double-check everything beforehand.
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID to the confirmed check-in venue. You will receive your wristband and digital map there.
Move through the participating bars in whatever order suits you, ask about the event deals, and keep the wristband on.
Head home when you are done. Anything extra planned for the close will appear in your event information.
The essentials for planning your San Jose SantaCon
You buy a ticket, check in to collect a wristband and digital map, then visit participating bars in costume. Deals come from the bars, and you set your own pace.
Check-in happens at the venue named in your ticket and event information. Start there, since wristbands and the digital map are only given out at that stop.
What comes with the ticket, an event wristband, entry to participating bars, whatever deals those bars run, and a digital crawl map. The drinks are still yours to buy.
The age requirement is 21 or older, backed by a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in. A phone photo may not pass, so carry the real card.
No. Visit as many or as few participating bars as you like within event hours. Lineups can change, so follow the latest map in your event information.
Santa suits, elf outfits and reindeer gear all fit. Bay Area winter evenings run cool, so bring a light jacket you can wear over or under the costume.
VTA light rail serves downtown San Jose, and Diridon Station is a major transit center in the city. Check service hours before you go so the ride home is covered.
