To all the Long Island Santa's who are going to NYC, we are taking the LIRR Ronkonkoma. Time to be announced once starting location and time is announced. If you would like to meet up with us just send me a Santa message.

This is my first year, I'll be heading downtown to Manhattan Proper!!

I saw a bunch of newbies on here, join us downtown at MP, and we'll go from there! Can't wait for this...

Last year we went in the West Village and Hit Oliver's City Tavern and the Slaughtered Lamb pub. Some people went to Jekyll and Hyde as well. It was a blast. Hope to do it again.

Most of my group arrives into grand central so we're meeting at The Junction on 39th street as its pretty convenient

what should I be looking for to find out about bar specials using barHappy's website? Is it things that are Santacon specific or just in general?

Wait so how do I join this Manhattan Proper group? Its right by my house so it would be a great starting location!

My group is starting at Manhattan Proper as well!!!

@ Santa DK3009 & everyone else - It's a really good idea to organize your own sub-groups which can then coalesce at the designated starting location(s).

@ Santa FD9553 - I've updated the notes at the top of the page for your and everyone else's benefit - see "Starting locations & times"

@ Santa YV2374 - Yes and yes, provided he obeys the law and doesn't get mixed up with any elves.

@ Santa NR1694 - Details like this are not released until nearer the time. In the past they have not been published until the night before. Watch this space...

@ Santa HS0860 - The NYC SantaCon is huge, I'm sure your costumes will be a fun & welcome variation on the theme.

@ Santa PK2459 - Information about the route will be released by the NYC santas in due course but you can find out about bar specials using barHappy's website & app - see the ad on the right - that's why it's allowed on the site.

@ Santa NH7621 - This is sad but true. Read the Guidelines santas - santacon.info/About.html - especially #11 and save a sugarplum fairy today.

@ Santa SU4093 - Santa's sisters rock!

@ Santa BC5048 - Cool, especially if you're giving a discount to Santa.

Downtown....My group will start at Manhattan Proper !!!

What's the start time/location for NY?

my brother is 20, will he be able to participate at all, and would he have a good time?

Where do we meet? In midtown, downtown??

is it ok if were not Santa's but characters from the claymation Christmas movies?

i know Santacon is not a Pub crawl but is there a list of bars doing specials ?

Santacon is NOT a pub crawl! Everytime you call it that, a surgarplum fairy dies.

The sisterhood santas see more of nyc at santacon, the 34st post office, rockefeller center, and central park etc...

I will offer SANTA'S LIMO RIDE I have a fleet of 8 stretch limousine (10 and 20 passengers) in NYC, you can booked in advanced or last minute call. Info at sentro05@yahoo.es

Be safe don't drink and drive...

One aspect of SantaCon is the possibility of Santa getting a bit jolly. "Wasted Santa" spoils everyone's fun - don't be that santa.

See Guideline #11 on this page: santacon.info/About.html

this will be my first santacon! i'm trying to get people together to go into the city for it. what exactly do we have to do? is it just like a giant bar hop with tons of santas getting wasted? lol i'm down!!!

i will be arriving via train to gc anyone gonna be around or gimme a better place to meet up and or a time

Hi I'm hosting a SantaCon pre-game in Astoria if anyone is interested. A meet-up before the official meet-up. See this link for details: https://www.facebook.com/events/336428763121614

Don ye gay apparel! Setting up NYC’s first GAY SantaCon. Info on Twitter: https://twitter.com/gaysantacon or Facebook: t.co/PgCyWtWp

Santa doesn't need to sign up, Santa just shows up

We want to partake in Santacon NYC2012 this year how do we sign up for it?

Can't wait for this years Wrath of Santa Khan! Mwwwaaaahhhhhhh!

Starting locations & times are not normally available until the evening before the big day. Details will be published on the official NYC pages (see links on right) and the first santa to see them will probably be kind enough to post a heads-up on this page. I'll make sure an e-mail notification goes out when this happens.

Please don't use this page to ask about text alerts. I believe these are bogus. I've asked the NYC santas about this but, to the best of my knowledge at the moment, they are not responsible for these messages. All I get are complaints about them to the extent that I've had to post a notice on the main page.

Dear santa, i've been a good girl this year, I even purchased my SantaCon costume in the summer..plz tell me how to sign up for the txt alerts.

Hi I'm hosting a SantaCon meetup in Astoria if anyone is interested, here are the details: https://www.facebook.com/events/336428763121614

When or where can we find the locations and starting point? Thanks!

ive never done this before. where does it start? where does everyone meet? what time?

Where do we start and at what time? Also, has anyone checked out the barhappy.com app and will it actually work on the 15th to locate the bars?

How does one sign up to receive the text alerts?

I am so looking forward to my first SantaCon. I dont know what to expect. I too am wondering where all of the Santas meet up......time it starts etc. I am coming from upstate New York (orange county) I hope to meet some great people :)
