SantaCon Asbury Park 2018

SantaCon returns to the City of Asbury Park on December 8, 2018.  The holiday-themed bar crawl begins with attendees registering at Asbury Ale in the Central Business District at 1 pm, and continues throughout the night.
The Police Department welcomes everyone to Asbury Park, to enjoy our bars and restaurants and all the City has to offer.  We ask everyone to drink and act responsible. In past years the event has drawn criticism for rowdiness, violence, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, noise complaints, and vandalism.
The police department is taking a zero-tolerance approach to all such violations of the law and City ordinances.
As we have in past years the department has increased the number of police for the day of SantaCon, along with assigning off-duty police officers to a special detail to concentrate on the Central Business District and establishments with liquor licenses.
