Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the El Paso SantaCon Bar Crawl 2026
What is the El Paso SantaCon Bar Crawl?
A holiday bar crawl through participating El Paso venues with the crowd dressed as Santas, elves, and reindeer. One ticket covers wristband entry, a digital 3D crawl map, SantaCon drink specials at select bars, live DJs, and access to the official after-party.
When does it run?
Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Nine hours is a long window, so most people treat it as an afternoon that turns into an evening rather than a single block of drinking.
Which part of El Paso does the route cover?
Downtown holds most of the city's bar density, particularly the Union Plaza area and the blocks around Mills and Anthony streets. Your confirmed check-in venue and participating lineup arrive with your ticket confirmation.
What is the weather like in December?
This is the desert, so the swing is the thing to plan for. Afternoons often reach the upper 50s or low 60s while nights drop into the 30s. Dress for a 25-degree change over the course of the crawl.
How do I get around downtown?
Sun Metro's Brio routes serve the downtown corridor, and rideshare covers it well. Once you are downtown the route is walkable, and most downtown hotels put you within a few blocks of the bar district.
Where do I park?
The downtown garages and surface lots near San Jacinto Plaza and Union Plaza are the practical option and are cheap by big-city standards. Street parking downtown is metered and fills up on a Saturday evening.
Is it 21 and over?
Yes. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and expect to show it at every bar on the route, not just at check-in. Texas venues check consistently and a phone photo of your license will not work.
What else is downtown that time of year?
San Jacinto Plaza runs its winter festival setup with lights and an ice rink through December, a short walk from the downtown bars. It is worth arriving early for if you want photos in costume before check-in.
