About
Tampa, FL
SANTACON

Tampa SantaCon is a 21+ ticketed bar crawl in holiday costume. Your ticket includes an event wristband, a digital map and access to participating bars, and the order you visit them is up to you. Ybor City, the Channel District and Water Street Tampa each have their own character, and the TECO Line Streetcar links Ybor City, Channelside and downtown. Winter here runs dry and mild. Check-in venue, bar lineup and schedule details come through your event information. Your wristband and map are handed over there.

THE EVENT DETAILS

Everything important, without the wall of text.

One wristband

One wristband from check-in, worn through every participating Tampa stop.

Event route

Open the digital map for the stops. Then pick streetcar or rideshare.

Holiday drink specials

Bars bring the deals. The drinks themselves are still yours to buy.

PARTICIPATING VENUES

Your participating Tampa bars are confirmed in your event information and mapped digitally, and the lineup can change before the day. Each bar sets its own specials. Ybor City and Channelside are well-known Tampa neighborhoods, yet follow the map you receive rather than assuming any stop.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Tampa SantaCon

What is Tampa SantaCon?

A ticketed holiday bar crawl where costumed guests visit participating Tampa bars on one wristband. It is a 21+ event, and you need a ticket to receive the wristband and digital map.

When does Tampa SantaCon begin?

Start and end times sit in the event details block at the top of this page. Check-in information for your ticket arrives separately once the venue is confirmed.

Can I ride the streetcar between bars?

The TECO Line Streetcar links Downtown and Channelside to Ybor City, so it may suit some stops. Check your map first, and keep a rideshare as a backup because schedules may not match the crawl.

Is Tampa cold in winter?

Rarely. Winter is dry and mild, so a light costume works, though evenings cool off and a jacket helps after dark. Wear shoes you can actually walk in rather than ones that only look good.

What is included with my ticket?

Your ticket covers a wristband, a digital map and entry to participating bars. Those bars set their own deals. Drinks are not automatically free.

What ID do I need?

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Guests must be 21 or older, and you will show your ID at check-in. Bars can ask to see it again, so keep it handy.

Can I switch my ticket to someone else?

Transfers or exchanges may be possible, so read your order terms before asking. Sales are final with no refunds, which makes it worth confirming who is coming before you buy.

How is this different from the St. Petersburg crawl?

They are separate ticketed crawls in different cities, each with its own check-in and participating bars. Buy for the city you plan to visit, since one ticket does not cover both.
