About
Winston-Salem, NC
SANTACON

This is a ticketed holiday bar crawl in Winston-Salem, built around one wristband and a list of participating bars. Dress as Santa, an elf or a reindeer, check in, then take the evening at your own speed. The Arts District, centered around Sixth and Trade Streets, is part of downtown Winston-Salem, and the Innovation Quarter anchors the east end of downtown. Piedmont winter nights can dip near freezing, so plan a rideshare for the trip home. Event information will confirm your check-in venue, the participating bar lineup and the schedule once everything is finalized.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The essentials for planning your Winston-Salem SantaCon

What is Winston-Salem SantaCon?

A ticketed holiday bar crawl in Winston-Salem. You wear a Santa, elf or reindeer outfit and visit participating bars on one wristband, which means a ticket is required.

When does the crawl begin and end?

The event details at the top list start and end times. Your event information has the confirmed check-in window. Check both before heading out.

Where do I check in?

Your check-in venue is confirmed in your ticket and event information. Head there first, because that is where wristbands and digital maps are issued.

What does a ticket cover?

A ticket covers a wristband, bar access and a digital map. Bars offer their own deals. Drinks are not automatically free, so expect to pay for rounds.

Do I need ID to get in?

Guests must be 21 or older. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Bars check it apart from your wristband, so carry the physical card.

Which downtown areas might the route cover?

Downtown Winston-Salem includes the Arts District and the Innovation Quarter, though your actual route depends on the lineup in your event information. Wear shoes you can stand in for hours.

Will it be cold in Winston-Salem?

Piedmont winter lows average in the mid 30s, and some nights dip below freezing. Wear a thermal layer under the costume and gloves that still work with a phone, and skip thin costume-only outfits.
