About
Chandler, AZ
Santa Pub Crawls
Chandler’s SantaCon brings the Innovation Capital of Arizona’s bar culture and Maricopa County holiday spirit to one of the most tech-community December celebrations in the Southwest. The downtown Chandler and the Price Corridor technology district area have developed into a vibrant scene and when SantaCon arrives the combination of Intel and other semiconductor companies’ engineering culture, the Arizona State-adjacent community, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Chandler character that is innovative, warm, and completely Arizona.
Chandler is home to some of the world’s most advanced semiconductor manufacturing and the SantaCon reflects that community of precision and innovation. The Santa costume competition draws on the Chandler technology and ASU communities and the entries have a Maricopa County combination of engineering creativity and genuine Arizona December enthusiasm.
December in Chandler is mild and cool, typically ranging from 42 to 58 degrees at night. The Maricopa County desert winter is pleasant and the downtown Chandler bar community provides warm, welcoming Arizona hospitality.
Our hosts manage the Chandler route through the downtown bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Innovation Capital creativity.
