I mentioned in my last post that our friends had an interesting encounter with a group of Santas where they had stopped for lunch. Throughout the day we kept seeing large groups of Santas and mini-skirted Mrs. Santa as well. There were more Santas later when we stopped for a nightcap. I honestly didn’t think much about it and just figured much of it was street performers posing for photos with kids for tips. After all there were a lot of Mickey Mouses, Elmos, etc. all over town as well.
I later discovered that this was in fact an organized, or not so organized, event called Santacon.
They say not to call it a pub crawl but as far as I can determine that is exactly what it is.
This is a very short video of the start up at Central Park's Bethesda Fountain.
Thousands of Santas and Elves meet up, donate food, and then split up to totally engulf the sidewalks and bars of Manhattan spreading good cheer.
