SantaCon Denver is Coming Up This Weekend

Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like hundreds of revelers in Santa suits parading through the streets and bars spreading yuletide cheer. SantaCon Denver is set to take place this Saturday, December 5th.

According to their website, the annual event is a "non-denominational, non-commercial, non-political and nonsensical Santa Claus convention that occurs once a year for absolutely no reason. It’s your chance to spread holiday cheer in the most magical and absurd way possible."

Participants are encouraged to wear complete Santa suits and comfortable footwear for the free event, which will be held at several establishments in downtown Denver.

Denver is one of many major U.S. cities with its own SantaCon celebration. The event began 21 years ago in San Francisco. For more information on this year's event, visit the official Denver SantaCon 2015 Facebook page.
