Why SantaCon Started:
The relatively new holiday tradition originated in San Francisco in 1994 as a form of public theater as a statement against the consumerism of Christmas. In subsequent years it spread to Portland, Los Angeles and New York City. The movement was still a form of performance art that first year in New York in 1998. The Village Voice described that first SantaCon, then called Santarchy, as when a “young San Franciscan strapped on a fake white beard, donned a $12 red suitmajor and led 200 Santas as they went caroling up Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.” But in the years that followed, Santarchy became SantaCon, and the movement took on a life of its own. – Newsweek
What SantaCon Has Become:
Now organizers in cities across the world gather Santa’s helpers to meet in bars, restaurants and other venues in their communities, often in the form of a pub crawl—moving from one bar to another. Even though this seems joyous, many locals and establishment owners are less than thrilled by it. There have been reports of public urination, vomiting and fights breaking out amongst Santas—try explaining that to your kids.
Being Apart of SantaCon:
If you want to be part of the madness RUINING Christmas for children who believe in Ole Saint Nick, the strap on a white beard and your best Santa suit. Oh yeah, make sure you can handle your liquor and Don’t RUIN it. Obey the laws in your city, we don’t want to post a headline like “Loser SantaCon Attendee Drunk and Beligerant” with you face plaster for all to see.
Don’t be that guy!
