“Santarchy” is an annual city-wide Santas-only pubcrawl. This flash mob type event brings together hundreds of slightly sober people dressed in Santa costumes parading around the city, visiting landmarks (like walking down Lombard Street) drinking at bars and causing general mayhem. And just so you know, wearing a santa hat isn’t enough… get yourself a full-on santa suit.
