The annual gathering of costume-clad young people often invites mass brawls, public fornication and loutishness
The holiday season is a time of year beloved by many New Yorkers, but it also brings an occasion many dread: SantaCon.
An annual event that sees some 30,000 people descend on New York, at its best Saturday’s SantaCon is a gathering of young people who donate some money to charity while wearing Santa Claus costumes and getting drunk.
At its worst, however – and SantaCon is frequently at its worst – the affair is an invitation for mass brawls, widespread street-vomiting, public fornication and loutishness.
