SantaCon is Global!



This is a community-organized event and Santa’s grace is boundless. For a decade, people have expected no entrance fee and no wristbands. Accept no impostors. We do have event costs though. Please give generously.

SantaCon (aka “Santarchy” aka “The Red Menace”) began in San Francisco in 1994 and has evolved into an annual worldwide Santa Claus convention occurring in hundreds of cities around the globe. See Santacon.info for a list of participating cities.

Lowertown SantaCon features a costumed cast of hundreds. Come as Santa, come as an elf or reindeer or get creative and come as a Santasaurus, a Hanukkah Chicken, a Kwanza Ham…you get the picture!
