Location

Scranton SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for anyone who owns a Santa hat and a tolerance for cold. Check in, pick up a wristband and digital map, then call on participating bars at your own speed. Scranton sits in the Lackawanna River valley, and its downtown is described as pedestrian-friendly. Holiday-season highs average about 40 F with lows near 26 and a fair amount of snow, so bring a real coat. Check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule will be confirmed in the information that accompanies your ticket.
