🎅 HO HO HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS, NASHVILLE! 🎅
It’s almost that magical time again when the jolly and the mischievous take over the town — Nashville Santa Rampage 2025 is coming your way on Saturday, December 13th (yep, the 2nd Saturday in December)!
Your trusty organizer-Santas are already rounding up their elves, checking their lists, and plotting the most festive Rampage yet.
👉 Follow this page closely for:
> Pre-Rampage events
> Venue specials
> Rampage routes (including outside downtown!)
> Big announcements and Santa surprises
🎅 SANTA’S GAME PLAN 🎅
Dress Code: FULL-ON SANTA. All. Day. Long. Straight outta bed and into your red suit!
7 PM (or earlier): Start at your favorite Santa watering hole — check the Nashville Santa Rampage group for pre-events.
8 PM: Meet at the tree on 2nd Ave for the legendary Santa photo shoot!
📸 Take tons of pics, post them here, and share how YOUR Rampage went — the more chaos and cheer, the better!
🎁 WANT TO HOST YOUR OWN MINI-RAMPAGE?
If you’re spreading the love in your own town, post your location so other Santa’s can join! Or go solo — just remember, pics or it didn’t happen.
🎅 IMPORTANT SANTA REMINDERS 🎅
👉 This is a free event!! People try and hijack the event by selling tickets. DO NOT buy tickets. Report them to the site where they are selling tickets.
💵 Bring cash! Some bars are moving away from it, but many still prefer it — plus, it keeps things moving.
🪪 Bring your ID and have it ready at every door.
💸 Tip your bartenders & servers! Santa’s good like that.
🧑⚖️ Respect all Metro and venue rules.
❤️ Stay safe, look out for your fellow Santa’s, and take care of your helpers!
🍻 BAR OWNERS & SMALL BUSINESSES 🍻
We want to feature YOU!
🎅 Bar Owners: Message Erica or Danny Mc? with your specials or rules, and we’ll share them with the group.
🛍️ Local Businesses: Offering raffles, discounts, or freebies for Santa’s? DM us — we love to promote local cheer!
🎄 HOW THE RAMPAGE WORKS (READ THIS!)
- Santa doesn’t make kids cry. Give them candy or joy — parents and tourists, use your best judgment.
- Dress for joy! From snow carols to pole-dancing — own it, Santa.
- Santa doesn’t whine (unless it’s wine).
- Bring gifts. Naughty for adults, nice for kids — no coal-throwing (except maybe politicians 😉).
- Don’t be that Santa. Fun > sloppiness. Keep it classy, jolly, and mobile.
- CASH FIRST! Pay as you go, tip well, keep things moving.
- No Santa left behind. Buddy up in groups of 3-4 and stick together!
- Memorize your lines:
> Who’s in charge? “Santa.”
> What group are you with? “Santa.”
> What are you protesting? “Nothing! We’re spreading cheer!”
- Get creative! Any version of Santa, elf, reindeer, or holiday chaos works — just don’t show up in only a hat.
- Be merry, not messy. Respect venues and people. There’s no bail fund, so stay off the naughty list.
- Plan your sleigh. Don’t drive if you’re drinking — arrange rides, carpool, or grab a room nearby.
🎅 SANTA’S GOLDEN RULES 🎅
Call everyone “Santa.” Always.
Have something to hand out — candy canes work wonders.
Be ready for spontaneous adventure. Santa thrives on surprises!
And remember the most powerful words of all:
Please. Thank You. Merry Christmas.
🎄 We can’t wait to see you out there, Nashville!
Let’s make Santa Rampage 2025 the most epic, jolly, and unforgettable night yet!
