The Downtown Santa Cruise

Presented by the Downtown Association of Santa Cruz

Chip, Executive Director 2008-2019

The “Downtown Santa Cruise” was equal parts scavenger hunt, pub crawl, and holiday mischief. Participants followed rhyming text-based clues through downtown, uncovering challenges, surprises, and plenty of festive cheer along the way.

A little bit nice and a lot naughty, the event brought people together for a playful holiday adventure that showed off the best of downtown Santa Cruz—its creativity, nightlife, and sense of humor.
