Los Angeles, CA
Santa Pub Crawls
Los Angeles’s SantaCon brings the Entertainment Capital’s bar culture and Southern California holiday spirit to the most star-studded December pub crawl in the country. From Silver Lake and Los Feliz to the Hollywood bars and the downtown arts district, the LA SantaCon taps into the most creative and diverse bar scene in America and when SantaCon arrives the combination of Hollywood production energy, the LA arts and music community, and the exceptional bar quality creates a holiday celebration that is completely Los Angeles.
Los Angeles attracts the world’s most creative people and the SantaCon reflects that extraordinary concentration of talent. The Santa costume competition in LA is in a category of its own. Film industry costume departments, professional makeup artists, musicians, actors, and visual artists all compete and the entries reach levels of creativity and craftsmanship that exist nowhere else on the SantaCon calendar.
December in Los Angeles is mild, typically ranging from 50 to 65 degrees at night. The Southern California winter means SantaCon in comfortable weather with palm trees and holiday lights, a combination that exists only in LA. The city’s December festival of lights and holiday events provide a spectacular backdrop for the crawl.
Our hosts manage the Los Angeles route through Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and the broader LA bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Hollywood-level creativity.
