What/Why:

Hey Santa! Saturday December 17th we paint the town red and white! Over two thousand of us will be parading through the Downtown Seattle area! This event is free to attend!



READ THE WHOLE DETAILS! KEEP READING! SANTA! READ!



SantaCon is an annual mass gathering of people dressed in Santa Claus costumes parading publicly on streets and inside locations in cities around the world. The focus is on spontaneity and creativity, while having a good time and spreading cheer and goodwill. This is much more than a pub crawl, and every time you call it that, a sugar plum fairy dies!



WE NEED YOU!!

---------------------------------------------------

1. Participate! Do something fun here!

2. Invite your friends! #SeattleSantaCon

3. Register through Eventbrite to join our email list (optional) - eventbrite.com/e/seattle…



THE RULES!!

---------------------------------------------------

1. My name is Santa. Your name is Santa. We are Santa. Who's in charge here? Santa!

2. Santa will bring cash and tip! No cards! No complex orders! Lines will be long, so keep it quick!

3. Wear a Santa suit! Be an elf! Or reindeer! Get in the holiday spirit. Wearing just a Santa hat with regular clothes is boring. And wear comfy shoes. Santa is covering lots of ground.

4. SantaCon is a participatory event. Entertain us! Bring something Santa will enjoy: candy, games, performances, signs, music, or a costume that will wow us!

5. Expect lines. Santa will have fun while waiting or find another spot nearby.

6. Santa obeys the law. Santa doesn't drink in public or smoke in parks.

7. Pace yourself, Santa. Know your limits. Remember to eat!

8. Santa doesn't drink and drive! Take a Lyft with code seattlesantacon for $50 off.

9. Santa doesn't mess with kids, the police, businesses, or Santa!

10. Invite your friends! And use #SeattleSantaCon on Instagram or Twitter.
