Supporting Local Businesses While Spreading Holiday Cheer
Each December, Main Street in Farmingdale transforms into a sea of Santa’s, elves, reindeer, and merry mischief-makers—and 2025 is shaping up to be the most spirited celebration yet. Organized by Unique Bar Crawls, SantaCon Farmingdale 2025 kicks off on December 20th, inviting hundreds of holiday-loving participants to join a lively bar crawl while giving back to the community. With proceeds supporting Toys of Hope, one of New York’s most impactful charities, this event blends holiday fun with meaningful purpose.
As visitors prepare to eat, drink, and be merry, they’re encouraged to support the local businesses that make Farmingdale such a vibrant destination.
Event Overview
Tickets for SantaCon Farmingdale start at $17, with limited quantities at increasing tiers of $22 and $27, and $32 on the day of the event. Wristband holders enjoy a long list of perks, including:
Free entry to all participating venues
Food and drink specials from 12 PM–4 PM (and later)
