Santacon

The 2nd Annual Sandpoint SantaCon is coming (back) to town! Join us for SantaCon, Sandpoint’s very own Christmas Party!

Sandpoint SantaCon is a night where the whole town bundles up, raises a glass, and turns downtown into a winter wonderland of red suits, rosy cheeks, and holiday cheer!

This year's Santa Cause is the Schweitzer Avy Dogs. Proceeds will go to Friends of Schweitzer Ski Patrol, a 501c3 non-profit that supports the Avalanche Dogs and rescue program, offering training and resources. Support the avy dogs by coming to Matchwood from 4-6 PM, buying a passport, donating to them, and of course, giving the hard-working dogs some love and holiday cheer while they are in town!

To join SantaCon, purchase a 2025 SantaCon passport.

Registration will be open on Friday, November 14.

Pre-register online for $20 or register day-of for $25. The passport provides you access to deals and discounts at all the pub crawl locations, provides entry into the Naughty List Party at the 219, and provides entry into the best of SantaCon-test. It is your one way ticket to SantaCon!

Purchased passports will be available for pickup at Matchwood during the Santa Gathering from 4-6 PM on Sat, Dec 13. Last minute in-person registration will be available as well.

Registration will close at 6 PM on Saturday, December 13.

SantaCon kicks off at Matchwood Brewing at 4 PM. Festivities for all ages include a DJ, facepainting, letters to Santa, pictures with Santa, a naughty and nice list, shotskis, Schweitzer avy dogs, and more!

Then, the merry crowd of Santa’s will depart from Matchwood and spread out over various locations downtown for the Santa Pub Crawl, a 21+ event. Each location will have cheery discounts for the passport holders. After the pub crawl, the Santa’s will meet back up at the 219 Lounge for the Naughty List Party!

Pub Crawl Lineup:

Matchwood Brewing | Mickduffs Beer Hall | Eichardts | Utara | IPA | The Bank | Connie's | Roxy's | Smokesmith BBQ | Pivo Peaks | Barrel 33 |Tervan | 1908 Saloon | The 219 Lounge

Remember: be merry, be jolly, be kind, and believe in the Santa Cause! Cheers!
