The Santa Claus Pub Crawl is an annual event that raises funds for Charity through donations &ticket sales.
The Santa Claus Pub Crawl has been in circulation for over 17years now. It was originally started by a small group of friends as a means of raising some Christmas spirit – and having some fun at the same time.
This event is now the longest running Santa Pub Crawl in the world!
The only requirement is for participants to dress in something Xmassy – even just a hat will suffice. In previous years costumes have ranged from Santa’s, Xmas trees, presents, reindeer, angels, elves – Santa Elvis’s have made an appearance too. There is no limit to your creativity – just ensure you bring a sense of humour!!!
The event has grown over these years to become one of Wollongong’s most celebrated and well participated social and charity nights. Over 4500 people attended in 2010!!

This year we are encouraging participants to purchase Lucky Door Prize entries via an entry donation of $5 at the North Wollongong Hotel.
This money, along with all other donations, will go directly to the Salvation Army "Schools Breakfast Program" which helps to provide breakfast for underprivileged children at lower socio-economic schools.
This is an Illawarra based program so your money will stay locally.
When you consider the average drink costs more than $5, then donating $5 is one drink less for the night....and a child will be fed instead!!!!!
Over $55000 was raised in 2010!
Those wishing to also bring childrens toys for donation are encourage to.
Toys will be collected at the North Gong Hotel ONLY between 5pm-7pm.
Lucky Door Prize Tickets will be sold from 5pm-7pm at the Nth Gong ONLY.
Prizes will be drawn at 7.30 pm.
The Santa Claus Pub Crawl is held every year on the Second Saturday in December.
