About
Fort Myers, FL
Santa Pub Crawls
Fort Myers’s SantaCon brings the City of Palms’ bar culture and Southwest Florida holiday spirit to one of the warmest December nights on the SantaCon calendar. The River District and the downtown Fort Myers bar district are the heart of Lee County nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of the Caloosahatchee River setting, the Edison and Ford Winter Estates heritage, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Southwest Florida charm that is completely specific to this beloved Gulf Coast city.
Fort Myers has the warmth and character of a city shaped by decades of snowbirds, fishing culture, and the legacy of Thomas Edison’s winter workshops. The Santa costume competition draws on a creative community that includes retirees, artists, and young professionals who have all chosen Fort Myers for its quality of life and the entries reflect that eclectic Florida combination of creativity and genuine holiday enthusiasm.
December in Fort Myers is warm, typically ranging from 55 to 72 degrees at night. The Southwest Florida winter is paradise and the River District at Christmas with the Caloosahatchee waterfront creates one of the most pleasant holiday pub crawl settings in America. Fort Myers SantaCon is the gift of Florida warmth wrapped in a Santa suit.
Our hosts manage the Fort Myers route through the River District and the downtown bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition runs all evening.
