About
Phoenix, AZ
Santa Pub Crawls
Phoenix’s SantaCon brings the Valley of the Sun’s bar culture and Arizona holiday spirit to one of the most unique December nights in America. Roosevelt Row and the downtown Phoenix bar district are the center of the city’s creative nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of the desert setting, the Phoenix arts community, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration where Santa suits meet 60-degree December weather and the results are spectacular.
Phoenix has built one of the most dynamic urban bar scenes in the Southwest over the past decade and the SantaCon reflects that energy and quality. The Santa costume competition in Phoenix draws on the creative energy of an arts district community and the entries reflect that Arizona combination of desert creativity, Southwest cultural influence, and the genuine enthusiasm of a city that celebrates its warm December weather with full Santa commitment.
December in Phoenix is beautiful, typically ranging from 45 to 62 degrees at night. The Arizona desert winter is the envy of the country and doing SantaCon in comfortable December weather means more creativity in the costume and more time outside enjoying Roosevelt Row. Phoenix SantaCon is a reminder that you don’t need snow to have the best Santa night.
Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa costume competition celebrates Arizona desert creativity all evening.
