Ho ho holy hell, Santarchy is back! https://partiful.com/e/KT64XfI6wlzHTKwwTOkh
Dust off your Santa suit, summon your inner holiday heathen, and join an unruly procession of Santas, elves, reindeer, and other festive degenerates as we take over DC, one landmark and watering hole at a time.
This year we're doing things a little different: kicking things off at the Capitol Christmas Tree, spreading questionable holiday cheer at the Surpreme Court and Union Station, then making our way to H Street NE for drinks, debauchery, and a grand finale at Krampusnacht!
*๐ŸŽ… THE RULES OF SANTARCHY*
- Festive attire required! Santas, elves, Krampuses, and other holiday creatures welcome.
- Join us at any stop along the route.
- Bring your holiday spirit, comfortable walking shoes, and any appropriate and totally legal treats n trinkets you'd like to gift
- Be merry, be mischievous, and most importantly, don't be a dick! Mr. + Mrs. Claus will be watching with coal at the ready for your stocking.

4:00 PM | The Queen Vic ๐Ÿป(in honor of Montana)

The grand finale! Santa meets his sinister counterpart for an evening of horns, hooves, holiday mayhem, and Krampus-fueled festivities. This event is a fundraiser and accepts donations for the Wanda Alston Foundation which supports LGBTQia+ youth in DC.
