Santa Cruz SantaCon here is a ticketed holiday crawl, separate from other SantaCon gatherings. You check in, take your wristband, then visit participating bars in costume at whatever pace suits your group. Downtown Santa Cruz is centered on Pacific Avenue, its main downtown street, and Capitola sits next door on the east side. Your digital map spells out the actual stops, so you do not have to guess. Once things are confirmed, the event information you receive names the check-in venue, lists the bars and gives the final schedule.
Everything important, without the wall of text.
The essentials that make this SantaCon crawl easy to join and fun to explore.
Santa Cruz’s participating bars are confirmed through your event information and shown on the digital map, which is the reference for your route. Lineups can change, and each bar sets its own specials. Pacific Avenue is the main downtown street, but only the map tells you where the crawl actually goes.
From booking your pass to enjoying the final stop.
Order the Santa Cruz ticket that fits your party online. Every sale is final, so decide before you check out.
Your wristband and digital map are collected at the confirmed check-in venue, so go with a valid government-issued photo ID in your pocket.
Wander between participating bars at your own pace, ask about event deals and leave the wristband on.
Call it a night when you are ready. Anything extra planned for the end of the night will show in your event information.
The essentials for planning your Santa Cruz SantaCon
No. This page is for a ticketed crawl with a wristband and participating bars. Other SantaCon gatherings may be organized separately, so check which one you are signing up for.
In the ticket, an event wristband, participating bar entry, deals from those bars and a digital crawl map. No drink is automatically free, and ticket tiers can differ.
Start and end times live in the event details at the top of this page. The check-in venue and window reach you in your event information.
Your confirmed check-in venue arrives with your ticket and event information. Head there first, because wristbands and digital maps are only handed out at check-in.
Age and ID, 21 or older, plus a valid government-issued photo ID. Have the physical card on you, since staff at check-in and the bars may want to see it.
Wear your Santa, elf or reindeer look over a warm layer. Santa Cruz winters are mild but wet, with cool evenings, so a jacket and comfortable shoes beat bare legs.
Check the confirmed check-in window in your event information first. You need a wristband to take part, so arrive during check-in rather than walking up to a bar.
Not at all. Choose which participating bars to hit and in what order, at your own speed, and let the map serve as a loose guide.
Pick your pass and get ready to join the party.
