Coming Soon this December!!!
Ho, ho, ho—hold onto your reindeer because the jolliest, rowdiest event of the season is coming to town! On December 14th, 2024, the streets of New Orleans will transform into a festive sea of Santas, elves, reindeer, and all things merry for the New Orleans SantaCon Bar Crawl. This isn’t your grandma’s holiday soirée—unless Nana has a thing for free-flowing cocktails and exclusive holiday drink specials.
Now, as the marketing director for the New Orleans Guest House, strategically located just a candy cane’s toss across the street from the French Quarter and practically blinking at the streetcar stop out front, I am here to extend a warm (and slightly cheeky) invitation. Pack your most extra Santa suit, ugly sweater, or snow angel wings, and join us for a weekend of shameless merrymaking!
What’s SantaCon, You Ask?
It’s not just a bar crawl; it’s a holiday takeover. Picture this: four-plus top-tier venues decked out in all the glitter, lights, and tinsel their ceilings can hold. Your all-inclusive ticket gets you free entry (bye-bye cover charges), exclusive access to festive drink specials (some up to 50% off), and select food discounts (because even Santa needs snacks).
Oh, and the cherry on top? A Digital Bar Crawl Map. Yup, no need to rely on your tipsy cousin to lead the way; this map will have you strutting through the Quarter like a pro. Whether you’re naughty, nice, or a little of both, SantaCon’s got a spot for you.
Check-In Like a Pro
First stop? The Coyote Ugly Saloon at 225 N Peters Street. Present your pre-purchased ticket (yes, you must buy in advance at thesantacon.com) and pick up your all-important wristband. This magical little accessory is your passport to a night of unforgettable holiday revelry. Once you’ve got it, let the sleigh bells ring!
Santa’s Official Highlights
- Live Entertainment: Think DJs, live bands, and maybe even a drunk Santa karaoke moment. (We don’t know; anything can happen at SantaCon.)
- Social Media Stardom: Event photographers will be roaming the venues, snapping away. This is your time to shine, so go all out with your costume. Bonus points for glitter and sequins!
- Holiday Cheer Discounts: Save up to 50% on drinks and 25% on food at select spots—leaving you with more funds for those last-minute holiday gifts. (Or another round, we won’t judge.)
Why New Orleans?
Because no one does a bar crawl like NOLA, baby. From the jazzy tunes spilling out of every corner to the smell of beignets in the air, this city has a way of turning even the most humdrum events into a full-blown extravaganza. And SantaCon is no exception. So grab your jolly crew and dive into the iconic nightlife that has made New Orleans the stuff of legends.
A Few Sleigh Bells to Keep in Mind
- This is a 21+ Event: So leave the kiddies and the Grinches at home.
- Costumes Are Mandatory: Okay, maybe not mandatory, but highly encouraged. Trust me, you don’t want to be the one person not dressed up—it’s like showing up to Mardi Gras without beads. Awkward.
- Advance Tickets Only: No tickets, no wristband, no fun. Buy now or cry later.
