Santa Pub Crawls
Philadelphia’s SantaCon brings the City of Brotherly Love’s bar culture and Pennsylvania holiday spirit to one of the most historically rich December pub crawl settings in America. The Old City and the South Street bar districts are the heart of Philadelphia nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the Eagles and Phillies passion, and the exceptional local bars creates a holiday celebration that is passionate, historically grounded, and completely Philadelphia.
Philadelphia has one of the most passionate sports fan cultures in America combined with a deep Revolutionary War heritage and a bar community that is among the finest in the country. The Santa costume competition draws on the Temple, Penn, and Drexel communities and the creative South Philly and Fishtown neighborhoods and the entries have a Philadelphia combination of American history, Eagles green, and genuine December passion.
December in Philadelphia is cold, typically ranging from 25 to 35 degrees at night. The Pennsylvania winter is real and the Old City bar community provides the warm, welcoming Mid-Atlantic hospitality that the City of Brotherly Love is known for.
Our hosts manage the Philadelphia route through Old City and the South Street bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Philadelphia’s unique blend of American history and December enthusiasm.
