About
Harrisburg, PA
Santa Pub Crawls
Harrisburg’s SantaCon brings Pennsylvania’s capital city’s bar culture and Keystone State holiday spirit to one of the most politically charged December nights in the Northeast. The Second Street and the Midtown Harrisburg bar districts have developed into a vibrant scene and when SantaCon arrives the combination of Pennsylvania state government energy, the Susquehanna River setting, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a capital city character that is warm, community-driven, and completely Harrisburg.
Harrisburg has been investing in its downtown and the SantaCon reflects that investment. The Santa costume competition draws on the creative energy of a state government and university community and the entries have the political and civic humor that comes from a city where everyone knows someone who works in the Capitol building.
December in Harrisburg is cold, typically ranging from 25 to 35 degrees at night. The Pennsylvania winter is real and the Second Street bar community has the genuine warmth of a capital city that values its community traditions. The Capitol dome lit up for Christmas is one of the most impressive holiday backdrops for a SantaCon in Pennsylvania.
Our hosts manage the Harrisburg route through Second Street and the Midtown bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Keystone State creativity.
