Seattle SantaCon 2024

Hey Santa, Saturday December 7th, 14th, and 21st thousands of us will be parading through the Downtown Seattle area! Join us as we paint the town red and white for 14 hours! 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!

Expect live entertainment all day, free admission to venues, drink specials, a costume contest, professional photographers, and the most wonderful time of the year!

We've been doing this annually with thousands of attendees for a long time and Seattle SantaCon on Facebook is our official page. (And seattlesantacon.org is our website.) Warn your friends to watch out for imitators! Nationwide companies claiming to host SantaCons in dozens of cities are selling phony tickets which will not gain you entry to our event despite their claims.

WE NEED YOUR HELP SPREADING THE CHEER!

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! Lines can 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 try another spot. Don't wait in lines that don't move!

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 and drink water!

8. Santa doesn't drink and drive!

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

10. Use the Facebook event wall for the costume contest and #SeattleSantaCon on Instagram & TikTok!
