Everyone is Santa all over Downtown Seattle for the most magical and absurd event of the year! Drink, eat, dance, and be merry with us!
About this Event

Hey Santa, 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 15+ venues, drink specials, a costume contest, professional photographers, and the most wonderful time of the year!

Arrive anytime between noon to midnight to check in with our staff just outside most locations on the schedule below. Follow the schedule, Santa! Staff will be wearing all black, with blue hats and bags. Wristbands are required to be part of the event for population control, cover expenses, and to raise money for Treehouse.

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, including vaccine and mask mandates! 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!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: where do I check in?

A: see the schedule and find our staff (in black, with blue hats & bags) outside most of our current venues.

Q: is registration required?

A: yes, you won't be able to enter most if not all of our venues without a wristband.

Q: Sign up? Registration? Tickets? Check in? Wristbands? I'm confused.

A: Purchase online, then show up. Or just show up, and pay full price. We have $10,000+ in event costs and hope to raise $10,000+ for charity. Don't confuse us with "Bad Santa" events.

Q: Can I purchase from your staff? Pay with cash or Venmo?

A: Eventbrite only this year! Purchase online before approaching staff, please.

Q: can I check in for friends? Can they check in for me? are tickets transferable?

A: due to King County Public Health mandates, it's one wristband per person per covid check. You can check in using your friend's name if the ticket is under their name, but you cannot collect multiple wristbands for your group.

Q: King County mandates?

A: they apply to Seattle and the whole county. We have to follow them. This isn't really news anymore, so be cool about it. There's no exceptions to public health guidelines.

Q: am I guaranteed entry everywhere?

A: not exactly. If a venue is full and other Santas aren't leaving, you're going to be stuck in line. Try another venue!

Q: what are the details on drink specials?

A: see above for the list. Not every venue will have a special (some bars refuse to offer them). If one bartender is ever unaware of a special, don't panic! Find SantaCon staff or message our Page and we will try to fix things. We can't guarantee specials, but we try our best. Billing issues need to be taken care of with venues, not us.

Q: can I bring fake weapons, wear masks, or full body costumes? will you accept temporary or old IDs?

A: can't guarantee anything here. this is up to security at each venue.

Q: do I have to follow the laws?

A: duh, yes. No drinking on public streets or smoking in public parks. Follow traffic laws and authority figures. Don't mess with anyone, and especially don't mess with Santa. If you see something say something. Disrepectful Santas aren't welcome.

Q: do I have to wear a costume?

A: You ought to dress festive. A Santa hat is the bare minimum.
