TIPS TO HAVE A FUN SANTACON
If you don’t feel well, stay home.
We will HO rain or shine.
Tip the bartenders well. Be kind, it’s been a hard couple years for us all.
Wear warm clothes and comfortable shoes.
Bring cash and small bills to tip/pay your bills.
Remember, the answer is SANTA!
We don’t announce the locations before the event. Part of the fun is being part of the red tide. But we always update the route via LA Santa on Twitter. And Facebook.
Download and print your own copy of the Naughty Carol Book (from the 2013 Santacon!).
Watch out for Clowns!
Los Angeles Santacon is a direct descendent of the San Francisco Cacophony Society. Most articles and videos about Santacon miss the history. This article about Joshua Tree Santacon in 2019 gets it right. We’ve kept true to the original ethos in Los Angeles.
The first SantaCon was held on Dec. 20, 1994, and featured 38 people. One of the event's early participants, John Law, co-founded Burning Man. And we’re still ho-ho-ho-ing in 2023!!
