No-Host SantaCon Meetup (Portland)

Get ready to suit up in your festive best—it's time for Portland SantaCon! This is a no-host, casual Meetup gathering for anyone who wants to join fellow Santas and holiday characters for a fun, spirited day in downtown Portland.
This Meetup is not an official SantaCon organizer. We’re simply a group attending the citywide event together. All event details, route information, participating venues, and official updates can be found directly at:

### How Our Meetup Works

• This is a no-host event. There is no group tab, no tickets, and no paid organizer.
• Attendees are responsible for their own transportation, food, drinks, and purchases.
• We use the Meetup event chat to coordinate in real time:
• Meetup location & time
• Live updates
• Who’s where
• Meet-up points along the SantaCon route

Be sure to turn on notifications so you don’t miss updates!

### What to Expect

• Thousands of Santas, elves, reindeer, and festive characters
• Bar stops, dancing, music, and holiday chaos
• A lively, social atmosphere with lots of walking and exploring
• Freedom to join for as long or as little as you’d like

### Tips for a Great Experience

• Wear a Santa suit (or any holiday costume!)
• Bring ID if you plan to enter bars
• Dress warmly & comfortably—this is Portland in winter
• Stay hydrated (both festively and responsibly)
• Make sure your phone is charged for chat coordination

### Important Notes

• This is not an officially guided group route. We will follow the general SantaCon flow, but movement is flexible.
• Everyone attends at their own discretion and is responsible for their own safety and belongings.
• Please respect the city, businesses, and other attendees—Santa is watching. 🎅
