Fake Santas come and go - but those who really have the Santa spirit know there is only one SantaCon in Philadelphia, and its this one.
What makes this SantaCon the official SantaCon bar crawl in Philadelphia?
In true holiday spirit, 100% of the door proceeds get donated to the local Ronald McDonald House. We are not talking a "portion" of the proceed. Every. Single. Dollar.
We are proud to say that due to the number of Santas that support this party and the amazing Ronald McDonald House charity , the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House named one of their family rooms in the newly expanded wing the “Philly SantaCon Room"!
As always, a complete list of official SantaCon cities across the world can be found by visiting santacon.info.
Your donation gets you admission, drink, and (at some locations) food specials at all participating locations! Traditionally, none of the participating bars are listed until SantaCon Eve. We break tradition and share the list, but we will not release exact specials until the day before.
SantaCon Eve location will not be released until closer to the date.
A suggested donation of $10 to the charity is asked for anyone who wants to participate in this Center City bar crawl event. If you are feeling extra generous, the more the merrier!
New for 2023 is we will be offering the ability to pay in advance online, in addition to traditional donate-what-you-may cash donations day of.
This event is rain, snow or shine. In the situation of inclement weather, not all locations are guaranteed.

THE 6 F'S OF SANTA CON
1. Don't F*** With Kids
2. Don't F*** With Bar Staff
3. Don't F*** With Security & Cops
4. Don't F*** With Philly
5. Don't F*** With Santa's Charity Mission
WHAT DO YOU WEAR?
Santa wears a costume: full, head-to-toe, holiday themed, costume. None of this "just a hat" bullsh*t. Though we will still let you participate, know that we are let down and disappointed in you.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
If you purchased your wristband in advance, do not take it off! Bring proper, state issued I.D. or passport.
SANTA IS AWESOME TO THE BAR STAFF.
Pay with cash when you are in a busy destination to expedited service. It gets chaotic when Santas come to town, tip well!
SANTA SPREADS JOY.
Not terror. Not vomit. Not trash. Would you want them under your tree?
SANTA IS ABOUT PEACE.
Not fighting. Should you find yourself in an argument with an angry elf, just walk away. If organizers find any Santa caused physical issues at locations, they will be placed on the permanent naughty list and unable to join in the future.
SANTA STAYS SAFE: SANTA DOES NOT DRINK MORE THAN SANTA CAN HANDLE. DOING SO ENDANGERS SANTA’S SELF, SANTA’S FRIENDS, AND THE FUTURE OF SANTACON.
