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.
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!
