Apparently there was some damage done last year during the event which garnered some bad press. The original founders decided to move it to Hillsboro, another group decided to go to north Portland, and then there was the group that we followed. The ones who met down at the fountain, the traditional Santa Con starting point :) For those of you not in the know, Santa Con = Marauding Santa Clause Pub Crawl. Here are my shots from the morning we spent with them.
It should be noted that the starting point is also the site of the Saturday Morning Art walk, plenty of Vendors and yummy food to be had.. and a little street music to boot.
First stop, too funny I didn't even get the name of the place, oh well.
Apparently Santa Con is open to all denominations :)
En route to stop # 2 Kelly's Bar, such a shame that the event got so splintered this year.
Although the Santa's were still all over the place, coming and going.
This Santa was very pleased that his hat was on his piece.
Stop #2 Kelly's Bar, a nice little biker joint, quite a few Santa's fit inside I was suprised.
There was still a good deal of Santa's hanging out on the street too, there was all kinds of weirdness happening outside.
Another Photographer was also taking notice.
I believe this guy might be the responsible culprit.
There was even a Krampus which I had never heard of, I guess they are from Austria, seemed nice enough until he started hitting people with his branches. :)
Look a Bad Santa, abusing the log cabin syrup.. ;) There were actually a few passing this bottle around.
There were also several Female Santas and Mrs. Clause types.
And of course the event attracted a lot of photographers, here's a few.
Oh, And I was there too
Happy Holidays!!
