Are costumes required?
Well, you’re not forced to dress up, but we are begging and asking that you do as it’s part of the fun. We would love to see you dress up as Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, an elf, gingerbread, or another holiday related character! It IS SantaCon so get those red suits dry cleaned and ready to go. We will have fun holiday accessories to wear with your costumes, these will be first come, first served – and you must purchase a ticket to receive one.

Plenty of street parking is available throughout the district as well as a limited number of spots at the Expo Art Center, 4321 Atlantic Avenue. As always, we encourage you to drink responsibly.

I don’t drink alcohol, should I still come?
Yes! There will be so much more to SantaCon than just drinking. Various participating businesses will have live music, food specials, holiday shopping, and more.
