SantaCon Crawl — Holiday Bar Crawl — San Diego Gaslamp
December Fridays and Saturdays — Christmas Day Excluded
Celebrate the season with Levinson Group’s SantaCon Crawl in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter—a festive holiday bar crawl filled with multiple bars, exclusive drink deals, VIP free entry, and a whole lot of Christmas energy.
On December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, and 26, grab your crew, wear your Santa hat or favorite festive attire, and enjoy a night of drinks, dancing, and Gaslamp nightlife. Choose a guided crawl or explore freestyle after check-in; either way, your paid crawl ticket unlocks the advertised participating-venue entry waivers and offers, subject to venue time windows, operating hours, capacity, and each venue's entry policies. Participating venue cover waivers are included with your paid crawl ticket.
