Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Nashville SantaCon Bar Crawl 2026
What is the Nashville SantaCon Bar Crawl?
A holiday crawl through participating Nashville bars with the crowd in Santa suits and holiday costume. One ticket covers wristband entry, a digital 3D crawl map, SantaCon drink specials and themed cocktails, live DJs at select stops, and after-party access.
What day and time is it?
Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This is a daytime crawl, which changes the character of it considerably compared with a Nashville night out.
Is a daytime crawl better on Broadway?
Genuinely, yes. Finishing at eight means you work the route before Lower Broadway hits its full Saturday-night density, so you spend the afternoon inside rooms rather than in door lines. The bands are already playing by early afternoon.
Which part of Nashville does the route cover?
Nashville nightlife concentrates on Lower Broadway, with separate scenes in Midtown and The Gulch. Your confirmed check-in venue and the participating lineup come through with your ticket confirmation.
How do I get downtown and where do I park?
WeGo buses serve downtown and rideshare is everywhere, though December Saturdays bring surge pricing near Broadway. If you drive, book a garage in advance and plan on leaving the car until the following morning.
What should I wear?
Middle Tennessee in December sits in the 40s, sometimes colder after dark. A Santa suit handles that comfortably on its own, which is one advantage of the December crawls over the fall ones. Real shoes matter more than the costume does.
Is this a good fit for a bachelorette or work group?
It suits both, and the early finish helps if you have a dinner booked after. Groups of 20 or more may qualify for discounts, VIP perks, reserved check-in, and private party packages through the group booking form.
Is Nashville SantaCon 21 and over?
Yes. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and expect every venue on the route to check it. Broadway door staff card constantly, and being on the crawl does not change that.
