This year’s event emphasizes charitable giving, with organizers encouraging participants to donate unwrapped toys and toiletries to benefit Turning Point of Tuscaloosa — a local nonprofit that supports individuals affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.

“The opening ceremony sets the tone for SantaCon,” Event Director Daniel Di Bona said. “It’s a time to come together, celebrate the holidays, and make a difference for those in need.”

Donation bins for toys and toiletries will also be available throughout the evening.

The SantaCon Bar Crawl will take participants through some of Tuscaloosa’s popular establishments, starting at Houndstooth Bar.

“The bar crawl is a highlight of SantaCon,” Di Bona said. “It’s a festive way to connect with friends, enjoy Tuscaloosa nightlife, and support a great cause.”
