About
Virginia Beach, VA
SANTACON

Virginia Beach SantaCon is a ticketed holiday bar crawl for guests 21 and over. After check-in you wear an event wristband and visit participating bars in costume, choosing your own order and how long you stay at each one. Atlantic Avenue and the Oceanfront Boardwalk sit in Virginia Beach’s resort area, an Atlantic Ocean strip of hotels, restaurants and shops. Your digital map shows the crawl stops. Event information confirms your check-in venue, your bar lineup and the rest of the schedule.
