Santarchy!
What The Ho?

Welcome to the worldwide Santacon nexus, the orginal resource for Santarchy events across the globe.

Every December for the last 18 years Santas have been visiting 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 for more info.

You'd better watch out! Santa's coming to town!
