HOHOHOHO! Scroll down this page for Santa’s reindeer route Dec. 13 – 14, 2024.
Where will Santa go?! What time does he start!?
When SantaCon Ocean City began on the boardwalk in 2011, we had an official start time and moved as a group from bar to bar. As SantaCon grew, the event became a “choose your own adventure,” with Santas and merry elves arriving as soon as the bars opened and staying until close. Now, we encourage you to pop in when and where you want during the times listed below. You’ll find Santa at all of these bars & restaurants. It’s all part of the SantaCon magic!
