Welcome to the worldwide Santacon nexus, the orginal resource for Santarchy events across the globe.
Each December Santas visit cities around the world, engaging in a bit of Santarchy as part of the annual Santacon events.
It all started back in 1994 when several dozen Cheap Suit Santas paid a visit to downtown San Francisco for a night of Kringle Kaos organized by the Cacophony Society. Things have reached Critical Xmas and Santarchy is now a global phenomenon.
Check out our Santarchy FAQ.
You'd better watch out! Santa's coming to town!
PLEASE NOTE: We are not associated with any commercial Santacon websites that are attempting to cash in on Santarchy. The Santacon events have always been advertising-free events without sponsorships.
