About
Dallas, TX
Santa Pub Crawls
Dallas’s SantaCon brings the Big D’s bar culture and North Texas holiday spirit to one of the most glamorous December celebrations in the country. Deep Ellum, Uptown, and the Knox-Henderson bar corridor are the heart of Dallas nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of Cowboys Nation passion, the Dallas arts and fashion culture, and the exceptional local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Dallas quality that is big, bold, and completely Texas.
Dallas is one of the great American cities built on ambition, style, and a go-big-or-go-home attitude and the SantaCon reflects that character. The Santa costume competition in Dallas is the most glamorous on the Texas calendar with entries that reflect the fashion and style consciousness of a city where looking good is a civic value and the competition between Dallas and Houston Santa contestants is genuinely beloved.
December in Dallas is cool and mild, typically ranging from 35 to 50 degrees at night. The North Texas winter is moderate and Deep Ellum and Uptown’s bar communities are among the finest in the country with the Dallas skyline creating a spectacular holiday backdrop.
Our hosts manage the Dallas route through Deep Ellum, Uptown, and Knox-Henderson. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Big D glamour and creativity.
