Event Time

Location

Springfield SantaCon is a ticketed holiday crawl for guests 21 and older. Show up in costume, take your wristband at check-in and go bar to bar at your own tempo. Springfield is the Illinois capital and the Sangamon County seat, and its Lincoln sites include the Old State Capitol and the Lincoln Home. Your digital map lists the participating bars, so follow it rather than a sightseeing route. Check-in location, bar list and schedule come through your event information once the details are locked.

Follow the digital map through the participating bars in the order you prefer.

Holiday drink specials
