Location
San Marcos SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for anyone willing to wear a Santa suit, elf ears or a pair of antlers. Check in, collect your wristband, then visit participating bars at your own pace with event deals along the way. The courthouse square anchors downtown San Marcos, where the surrounding area has many bars and restaurants, and Texas State University is based here. Austin is about 30 miles northeast. Your digital map shows the stops, so there is nothing to memorize. Once everything is locked in, your event information names the check-in venue, the lineup of bars and the final schedule.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
San Marcos’s participating bars are confirmed through your event information and listed on the digital map, so follow that lineup. Bars can change, and each one sets its own specials. The area around the courthouse square has many bars, but the map decides your route.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Buy the San Marcos ticket sized to your party at checkout. All sales are final, so firm up plans before paying.
Go to the confirmed check-in venue carrying a valid government-issued photo ID. That is where you pick up the wristband and digital map.
Hop between participating bars in any order, ask about event deals and keep the wristband on.
Finish whenever you want. If anything extra is planned for the end of the night, your event information will list it.
The essentials for planning your San Marcos SantaCon
A ticketed holiday bar crawl where guests in Santa gear visit participating San Marcos bars on one wristband. Buy a ticket first, since the wristband is what gets you into each stop.
Look to the event details at the top of this page for the start and end of the crawl. Check-in timing and the meeting point follow with your ticket.
Where you check in is stated in your ticket and event information once confirmed. Make that your first stop, as wristbands and the digital map are only handed out there.
Four things, an event wristband, participating bar access, the deals those bars offer and a digital crawl map. Each bar sets its own specials, and drinks are not automatically free.
The age rule is 21 and up. Bring your physical government-issued photo ID to check-in, and keep it handy in case a bar asks to see it later in the crawl.

Yes. Once you are 20 or more, discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in and private party packages may open up, and the form near the bottom of this page is the way in.
Pick your pass and get ready to join the party.
