About
Fort Collins, CO
Santa Pub Crawls
Fort Collins’s SantaCon brings Colorado’s craft beer capital’s bar culture and Front Range holiday spirit to one of the most celebrated December nights in Northern Colorado. Old Town Fort Collins is one of the most beautiful and vibrant bar districts in the Mountain West and when SantaCon fills these brick-and-gas-lamp streets with Santas the combination of Colorado State University energy, the craft brewing community, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Rocky Mountain character that is genuinely outstanding.
Fort Collins invented modern craft brewing culture and the SantaCon reflects the same dedication to quality and authenticity that made this city the craft beer capital of Colorado. The Santa costume competition draws on the CSU creative community and the Colorado outdoor adventure culture and the entries have a Mountain West creativity that reflects the genuine character of this beloved Front Range city.
December in Fort Collins is cold, typically ranging from 18 to 30 degrees at night, with the Rocky Mountains visible to the west. The Colorado Front Range winter is real and Old Town at Christmas with the gas lamps, the historic brick buildings, and the mountain backdrop creates one of the most beautiful holiday pub crawl settings in the West.
Our hosts manage the Fort Collins route through Old Town and the surrounding craft brewery district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Rocky Mountain creativity.
