Hey Guys, the 16th event has moved to the 10th, so all Santas can converge at one singular place at the same time. Santa Solidarity! The only difference is this group of Santas is starting later (6pm), and instead of being solely downtown, we will be renting vans to hit various odd locations, crash private parties, and then converge with the Downtown Santas at various points.

For some reason there seem to be two "versions" of this SantaCon.

This one on December 10th will be based more on the version we encountered in San Francisco. It'll start at 1pm at a location that will be announced on this event page on Friday Dec 9th (in spirit with the traditional SantaCon). It'll then involve a visit to many locations in downtown Wilmington (bars, restaurants...horse tours...boats...pretty much whatever the people want to do). The whole purpose is to be downtown and spread holiday cheer to as many people as you can infect, all while enjoying some holiday cocktails.

I have no idea what the version is that happens at the Juggling Gypsy. To my understanding, they meet at the Gypsy at 6pm, drink a bit, then hop in cars to head to various locations around Wilmington. But I'm really fuzzy on the details.

I talked briefly to the guy that was putting that together and he considered moving their date to the 10th as well, but I have no idea what became of that. All I know is we'll be meeting on Saturday, Dec 10th at (at yet to be disclosed location) downtown Wilmington.

Once again...there will likely be a fair amount of booze consumed on the 10th, so come up with other ways to get home if you don not live downtown.

The Juggling Gypsy's website (link on right) still says the 16th but I've written to the organizing santa for this event for confirmation. Watch this space...

I just called Juggling Gypsy and was told that SantaCon is on the 10th only! I really wanted to go on the 16th so I'm super bummed. Does anyone know what the deal is here?
