Kickoff the Holiday Season
Kickoff the holiday celebrations on Saturday, December 14 with the New Orleans SantaCon 2024.
Embrace the Christmas festivities by bar-hopping, mingling with new friends, and enjoying live music, colorful decorations, and festive brews. From 1 p.m. until 4 p.m., participants are invited to wear their best Santa suits—or other holiday attire—and explore the best bars and pubs in the downtown area. Each ticket includes access to over four venues, no cover fees, discounted drink prices, live music, and an after party! Tickets range in prices from $10 to $24.
Participants are invited to meet at the Coyote Ugly Saloon at 1 p.m. to commence the event. Tickets can be bought in advance here, and bar crawlers are encouraged to eat before attending the event and organizing a safe way to get back home—either a designated driver, or pre-arranging an Uber or Lyft.
Bar crawls are a unique way to experience New Orleans. A city that is known for its fun party culture and one-of-a-kind alcoholic beverages, New Orleans is one of the best cities to bar crawl in. Enjoy craft beers, cocktails, and more whilst viewing the city's merry decorations as you hop from bar to bar. Whether you are a local or a tourist, the SantaCon Bar Crawl combines an original aspect of New Orleans with holiday cheer and is a great way to hang out with old and new friends. Attendees must be 21 years or older to join in the fun!
The holiday season in New Orleans is a magical and festive time of year! The city makes-up for its lack of snow with the multitude of diverse and fun events that occur throughout the month of December. This year's SantaCon is just one of many Christmas and holiday events that bring the community together and help to embrace the cozy and jolly spirit. So put on your best Santa suit and prepare for an afternoon of fun, good drinks, and friendly company.
