Get Ready for SantaCon 2024: A Jolly Good Time for a Great Cause

Ho, ho, ho! The most festive bar crawl of the year is back! SantaCon 2024 returns to Ocean City on Saturday, December 14, from 8:00 to Close, and this year promises to be bigger and merrier than ever. Now in its 14th year, this beloved event invites you to don your favorite holiday costumes—whether you’re dressing up as Santa, Mrs. Claus, an elf, or even a festive reindeer—and join hundreds of participants for an afternoon of cheer, live music, and charitable giving.

All for a Great Cause: Supporting Kenille’s Cupboard Pet Pantry

While SantaCon is all about having fun and spreading holiday cheer, it’s also about making a positive impact in our community. This year’s event will once again benefit Kenille’s Cupboard Pet Pantry, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping families in need provide food and essentials for their beloved pets. The holiday season can be tough for many, and Kenille’s Cupboard steps in to ensure that pets don’t go hungry.

Dress to Impress: Holiday Costumes Encouraged

One of the best parts of SantaCon is seeing everyone in their holiday finest. This isn’t your average bar crawl—participants go all out with creative, festive outfits. Expect to see Santas in every shape and size, Mrs. Clauses decked out in red and white, elves spreading joy, and even the occasional reindeer (complete with antlers, of course). This is your chance to get into the holiday spirit, show off your creativity, and maybe even win a few costume contests along the way!

Live Music and Festive Vibes

What’s a holiday party without music? SantaCon 2024 will feature live music throughout the event, with local bands and DJs bringing the best holiday tunes and popular hits to keep the energy high. Whether you’re enjoying a sing-along to your favorite Christmas classics or dancing to upbeat tracks, the music is sure to keep you in the holiday spirit all day & night.

SantaCon is more than just an event—it’s an experience that takes you on a tour of Ocean City’s best bars and taverns, all decked out for the holidays. This year, numerous local hotspots are participating, each offering drink specials, festive cocktails, and plenty of holiday cheer.
