Lowertown SantaCon
As seen in the City Pages "A-List" and the Pioneer Press' "Best of the Week"!

CITY PAGES "A-LIST" REVIEW
This will be the second year for the Santa-themed barhop in Lowertown, St. Paul. And while milk and cookies add to that big Santa belly, it's the nightcaps that help make his cheeks rosy and his laugh grand. So throw on that Santa costume (and perhaps some long underwear as well if it's a chilly night) and hit the streets with like-minded Kris Kringles. Though the event is named after the jolliest man of them all, partiers can also come as elves, reindeer, Hanukkah items, or other holiday-themed characters. The more creative the costume, the better (zombie reindeer or space-age dreidels from the future, anyone?). The barhop begins at 5 p.m. at Señor Wong, but moves to a new location approximately every hour on the hour, with street music provided by Brass Messengers. Participating locations include the Black Dog Café, the Bulldog, Barrio, Rumors and Innuendo, and Station 4, where the Prize Fighters are scheduled to perform and Minnesota Rollergirl fans will also be partying. Drink specials will be offered throughout the night to those in costume making spirits bright, and food donations to Second Harvest Heartland will be accepted at designated bars and clubs along the way.
PIONEER PRESS "BEST OF THE WEEK" REVIEW
Don't be fooled by the name, SantaCon is not for the tots. It's an international pub crawl where folks dress up in Santa suits (or another holiday-ish costume of their choice) and go drinking. For the second year in a row, the local SantaCon will take place in St. Paul's Lowertown neighborhood. Starting at 5 p.m., Santas, along with all their helpers, will gather at Senor Wong and throughout the night visit the Black Dog Café, Bulldog, Barrio and Innuendo before finally ending up at Station 4, where there will be live music and RollerGirls on hand. So whether you choose to be Old St. Nick, Rudolph or Mrs. Claus, everyone wearing a costume qualifies for drink discounts.
