Where the San Francisco crawl goes
The crawl centers on the Marina and Cow Hollow, between Chestnut, Lombard, Fillmore and Union Streets, where the three check-in bars sit a few blocks apart, with Silver Cloud on Lombard Street and Flores and Palm House on Union Street. Every participating bar is on the digital map.
Getting there and what to wear
Muni's 22 Fillmore, 30 Stockton and 45 Union buses serve the Marina and Cow Hollow, and parking is tight on Saturdays, so take transit or rideshare. December mornings in San Francisco are cool, often in the 50s, and the bay breeze makes it feel colder, so layer up under your costume. Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged.
21+ with valid government-issued photo ID.

Saturday, December 12, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is an early start, so check in by 2:00 PM at Comet Club or Rick & Roxy's, or by 3:00 PM at The Blue Light.

Why does San Francisco SantaCon start so early?
SantaCon traditionally starts in the morning, and San Francisco keeps that tradition. Starting at 10 AM gives you a full day in the Marina and still leaves your evening free.
What is included with my ticket?
Entry to every participating bar with no cover, SantaCon drink specials at every participating bar, a SantaCon 2026 branded wristband, the Scan & Go digital bar map, a free after party at Rick & Roxy's and on-site event staff. Drinks are paid for at the special prices.
What should I wear to SF SantaCon?
Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged. Full Santa suits, elves, reindeer, Grinches and ugly Christmas sweaters all fit. San Francisco mornings in December are cool and breezy, often in the 50s, so wear layers under your costume.
How do I get to the Marina?
Muni's 22 Fillmore, 30 Stockton and 45 Union buses all serve the Marina and Cow Hollow. Parking is hard to find on Saturdays, so transit or rideshare is the easier choice. Plan a safe ride home.
Is there an after party?
Yes. Your ticket includes a free after party at Rick & Roxy's, 2131 Lombard St, starting at 6:00 PM, an hour after the crawl ends at 5:00 PM.
Do I need to be 21?
Yes. Every guest must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in and at each bar. Bring the physical card, not a photo of it.
