About
Fresno, CA
Santa Pub Crawls
Fresno’s SantaCon brings the Central Valley’s bar culture and California holiday spirit to one of the most agricultural region-rooted December nights in the state. The Fulton Street and the Tower District bar districts are the heart of Fresno nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of the agricultural community energy, the Fresno State Bulldog spirit, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Central Valley character that is warm, genuine, and completely Fresno.
Fresno is the agricultural capital of the world’s most productive farming region and the SantaCon reflects the genuine community character of a city that feeds the nation. The Santa costume competition draws on the creative energy of a Fresno State and agricultural community and the entries have the warm, genuine enthusiasm of a Central Valley city that celebrates the holidays with real community spirit.
December in Fresno is cool, typically ranging from 38 to 52 degrees at night, often foggy. The San Joaquin Valley winter brings the famous Tule fog that creates a mysterious and atmospheric backdrop for SantaCon. Santas emerging through the fog on Tower District on a December night have a genuinely cinematic quality.
Our hosts manage the Fresno route through the Tower District and Fulton Street bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Central Valley creativity.
