Santarchy, or SantaCon, is an annual mass gathering of folks dressed as Santa Claus, which quickly evolves into massive dance parties and pub crawls, depending on where it’s held. In the case of Seattle’s annual Santarchy, it was held on December 17th, beginning at the Seattle Center and roving through downtown before ending after midnight in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. This year, there were tons of traditional and non-traditional Santas (including Star Wars, superhero, and even Hawaiian Santas), elves, reindeer, and even some krampus.
