Yes, SF’s “SantaCon” is Still Taking Place for 2021

Oh boy, San Francisco’s city-wide Santa invasion takes place on Saturday, but it’s more a DIY affair this year.

“SantaCon” is San Francisco’s annual city-wide Santas-only pub crawl happening on Saturday, December 11, 2021.

2021 Updates Please note that for 2021 it seems a little less “official” and less organized that in the past. Usually there’s several “official” routes and an official meeting spot in Union Square and a meeting time. This year you’re more on your own.

This flash mob-type event brings together hundreds of slightly sober people dressed in Santa costumes parading around the city, visiting landmarks drinking at bars, and causing general mayhem.

And just so you know, wearing a Santa hat isn’t enough… get yourself a full-on Santa suit.

SantaCon 2021
Saturday, December 11, 2021 | Typically starts at noon
Meet at Union Square Park, San Francisco (usually – but this year might be different)
FREE – Rain or Shine

Please note, not all bars welcome Santas, so be respectful and keep an eye out for possible “No Santas” signs. Everything is subject to change. Dates, times, locations… check SF SantaCon Facebook before heading out.
