About
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Santa Pub Crawls
Fort Lauderdale’s SantaCon brings the Venice of America’s bar culture and South Florida holiday spirit to one of the most sun-soaked December nights on the SantaCon calendar. Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk bar districts are the heart of Fort Lauderdale nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of the yachting and boating community energy, the New River setting, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a South Florida character that is glamorous, warm, and completely Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Lauderdale’s bar culture is shaped by the yachting industry, the beach community, and the South Florida lifestyle that makes this city one of the most desirable addresses in America. The Santa costume competition here has a nautical and tropical quality to it and the entries reflect that Fort Lauderdale combination of yacht club sophistication and genuine South Florida holiday enthusiasm.
December in Fort Lauderdale is warm, typically ranging from 58 to 72 degrees at night. The South Florida winter is paradise and Las Olas Boulevard at Christmas with the New River and the holiday lights creates one of the most glamorous SantaCon settings in the country. Fort Lauderdale SantaCon is for Santas who like their holidays warm and by the water.
Our hosts manage the Fort Lauderdale route through Las Olas and the Riverwalk bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates South Florida nautical creativity.
