SantaCon is an annual event held in various cities around the world where participants dress up in Santa Claus costumes and engage in festive activities, often involving pub crawls or other social gatherings. The event is usually characterized by a large number of people dressed as Santa Claus, elves, reindeer, and other holiday-themed characters, spreading cheer and participating in activities in bars, public spaces, and sometimes even public transportation.
Participants in SantaCon typically follow a schedule of bars or venues, where they enjoy drinks, socialize, and participate in holiday-themed events. The event is known for its jovial and celebratory atmosphere, with participants embracing the festive spirit of the holiday season.
It’s important to note that while SantaCon is intended to be a lighthearted and joyful event, it has sometimes faced criticism for disruptive behavior and public nuisance issues in certain locations. Organizers often emphasize the importance of responsible and respectful participation to maintain the positive aspects of the event.
If you see something suspicious or unusual, take note of it. We encourage you to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, packages or vehicles, with as many details as possible. Text Your message to NJTPD (65873) or CALL 1-888-TIPS-NJT (1-888-847-7658).

They should do that in Ridgewood, make it Santa family day throughout the CBD movies shopping eating
Look up footage of past Santacons.
It is a drunken mess akin to St.Paddys day. You do NOT want this downtown.
Oh come on.
It’s not a drunk fest. Geesh. It’s Christmas time and people like to enjoy the festivities with a hot festive toddy in their hands to drink and to keep warm. No big deal
It’s literally a pub crawl.
Not some Norman Rockwell-esque hot chocolate and carolling.

This is Ridgewood, not Hoboken. Shouldn’t be compared to other towns, let alone st Patty day.
