Santas Take Over The City for Detroit Santarchy

If you want to dress up like Santa this weekend and get drunk, then you're in luck! This Saturday night the 18th Annual Detroit Santarchy will take over the streets of Detroit. This is the official Santa Bar Crawl in the city and it's pretty awesome. The event starts and ends at the Gaelic League in Corktown. From there, buses load up and take all of the Santas to bars throughout the city. The event already has their list made of naughty and nice bars that they will be visiting throughout the night, but that's all a surprise to you! Buses will leave about every 10 minutes each location, giving you enough time to get in, grab a drink, and get back on the bus!

Tickets for Detroit Santarchy are only $20 and can only be purchased with cash at the Gaelic League door. You should also bring cash to buy your drinks at each bar because you probably aren't going to stay at one place long enough to run a tab. Your Santarchy pass will get you into all of the participating venues and bars, even if there's a cover. You should plan to arrive at the Gaelic League at 7 p.m. and then the buses will line up and start circling the town starting at about 7:30.

Keep in mind, this is Santarchy! You have to go all out and dress like Santa or one of his awesome friends. You can't just wear a Christmas sweater or a bow in your hair though. If that's the party you're looking for, this isn't it. Here are some other tips for first timers:

Only 21 and up are welcome to attend Detroit Santarchy. The Gaelic League is located at 2068 Michigan Ave. in Corktown. For more information on this event, click here.
