It looks like Santa is trading in his milk for some local brews to pair with his cookies this year — and you all (at least those 21+) are invited to join during the Chattanooga Santa Pub Crawl.

Brought to you by the folks at Nooga Nightlife + Chatt Taste, you’ll be able to stop at 30+ destinations across the Scenic City on Saturday, Dec. 16 to sip all night long from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Take a load off and grab your Santa gear, we’re here to tell you everything you need to know. To start, each stop will have drink specials + themed fun for all with free GoCart rides available so you can keep the party going.

Wristbands

This event will benefit Toys for Tots — bring an unwrapped and new toy donation for a $5 discount. Wristbands are also available at full price and half off for designated drivers. Pick up wristbands + drop off toys during:
