About
College Station, TX
Santa Pub Crawls
College Station’s SantaCon brings Aggieland’s bar culture and Texas A&M holiday spirit to one of the most maroon-and-white December celebrations in the state. The Northgate bar district is the heart of College Station nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of the Aggie Twelfth Man tradition, the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets heritage, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a College Station character that is warm, maroon-spirited, and completely Aggieland.
College Station is the home of Texas A&M and the Aggie traditions run deeper than almost any other college town in America. The Santa costume competition draws on the TAMU community and the entries consistently feature the most maroon-and-white Santa interpretations on the Texas SantaCon calendar. Gig ‘Em Santa is a College Station institution.
December in College Station is cool to cold, typically ranging from 32 to 48 degrees at night. The Brazos Valley winter is moderate and the Northgate bar community is warm and welcoming with the Aggie tradition of hospitality running through every interaction.
Our hosts manage the College Station route through the Northgate bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Aggieland creativity.
