About
St. Petersburg, FL
Santa Pub Crawls
St. Petersburg’s second SantaCon returns the Sunshine City’s bar scene and arts community to Central Avenue for another round of Tampa Bay holiday celebration. The second St. Pete SantaCon builds on the excellence of the first event with the same Dalí Museum-adjacent arts energy, the same exceptional Central Avenue bars, and the same Sunshine City warmth that made the first event one of the finest in Florida.
The second St. Petersburg SantaCon reflects the community’s enthusiasm for more. The Santa costume competition in the second event draws on participants who elevated their entries based on the first night’s results and the Sunshine City arts community brings its full Dalí-influenced creative energy to the second competition.
December in St. Petersburg is warm and tropical, typically ranging from 55 to 70 degrees at night. The second SantaCon night enjoys the same paradise conditions that made the first event so distinctive and enjoyable.
Our hosts manage the second St. Petersburg route through Central Avenue and the Grand Central District. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates the Sunshine City’s continuing artistic excellence.
