Coming Soon this December!!!
Oh, honey, get ready to sleigh this holiday season—New Orleans style! The city that never needs an excuse to party is bringing you the New Orleans SantaCon Bar Crawl, happening on Saturday, December 14, 2024, and it’s guaranteed to be the merriest, sassiest, most fabulous night of the year. So grab your Santa suit, polish your elf boots, or don your most extra holiday ensemble, because this is your chance to make spirits bright and party hard on the iconic streets of the Big Easy.
As the marketing director for the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, just a block from the indulgent and diverse French Quarter, let me personally invite you to make a whole weekend out of it. Our boutique hotel is not only freshly made over from top to bottom (facade included, baby!), but it’s also proudly LGBTQ+ owned and operated. While we don’t make promises beyond clean, affordable accommodations and a staff so warm and welcoming you’ll feel like family, trust me when I say we’ll have you slaying all day and living your best life all night. And guess what? We’re just a short 3-minute stroll to the streetcar stop, your ticket to ride through New Orleans’ festive magic.
What Is SantaCon?
Oh, darling, if you’ve never heard of SantaCon, let me break it down for you. Picture this: throngs of merrymakers dressed to the nines (or should I say “to the North Pole?”) in Santa suits, holiday couture, or anything red, green, and fabulous. Together, we take over the town, hopping from bar to bar, spreading holiday cheer (and maybe a little chaos) as we go. Think of it as your chance to make the naughty list and the nice list in the same night!
The Perks: All-Inclusive Tickets
For one inclusive price, you’ll unlock the doors to 4+ top venues in New Orleans, with no cover charges and access to drink specials that’ll make your wallet as happy as your taste buds. We’re talking up to 50% off drinks and 25% off select foods. Plus, there’s an official Digital Bar Crawl Map, so you can navigate the night like a seasoned pro. Each venue will be dripping in holiday splendor, complete with live entertainment, festive vibes, and the kind of holiday magic that only New Orleans can provide.
But wait—there’s more! SantaCon’s photographers will be roaming the streets and venues, snapping pics of the most jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, and absolutely outrageous costumes. So dress like you mean it, sugarplum! This is your moment to shine, sparkle, and maybe even go viral.
Important Details:
- 21+ Only: This is a grown-up affair, so leave the kiddos at home.
- Tickets: Purchase them in advance at thesantacon.com because they will NOT be available at the door.
- Check-In: Bring your confirmation and ID to the Coyote Ugly Saloon (225 N Peters St., New Orleans, LA 70130) to pick up your wristband. The wristband is your golden ticket to all the fun, so don’t skip this step!
Why New Orleans?
Let’s be real—there’s no place like NOLA for the holidays. Between the glittering decorations, the unbeatable nightlife, and the over-the-top personalities that flock here, it’s the perfect backdrop for a holly-jolly weekend you won’t forget. And when you stay at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, you’re right in the heart of it all. Whether you’re sipping hot toddies in a decked-out dive bar or dancing the night away under the mistletoe, you’ll be just steps from your cozy, stylish home base.

Tips for the Ultimate SantaCon Experience
- Go Big or Go Home: This is not the time for subtlety. Santa suits, elf hats, reindeer antlers, or full-on Mrs. Claus glam—whatever you choose, make it extra.
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Partying this hard requires balance, darling. Mix in some water between all those discounted cocktails.
- Be Festively Fabulous: Whether you’re naughty or nice, spread good vibes and holiday cheer to everyone you meet.
So what are you waiting for, Rudolph? It’s time to jingle those bells, book your stay at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, and snag your SantaCon tickets before they’re gone. Come for the holiday revelry, stay for the iconic nightlife, and leave with memories as dazzling as a New Orleans Christmas tree. See you under the mistletoe, sweetie!
