About
Stamford, CT
Santa Pub Crawls
Stamford’s SantaCon brings Fairfield County’s bar culture and Connecticut holiday spirit to one of the most sophisticated December nights in New England. The Bedford Street and downtown Stamford bar district have developed into an excellent bar scene and when SantaCon arrives the combination of hedge fund and financial sector energy, the New York City commuter community, and the excellent Stamford bars creates a holiday celebration with a Connecticut sophistication that brings Wall Street’s best to the Santa tradition.
Stamford’s connection to the New York financial world means that SantaCon here has resources that most cities can’t match. The Santa costume competition draws on a community of finance professionals, technology executives, and media personalities and the entries reflect that Fairfield County combination of access to the best costume resources and genuine competitive enthusiasm.
December in Stamford is cold, typically ranging from 25 to 35 degrees at night. The Fairfield County winter is real and the Bedford Street bar community has the quality and polish that reflects the investment this city’s bar scene has made. The Stamford downtown holiday decorations are beautiful and befitting a financial capital of Connecticut.
Our hosts manage the Stamford route through Bedford Street and the downtown bar district. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Fairfield County sophistication.
