A FEW THINGS TO TELL YOU ABOUT SANTACON
SantaCon is a fun annual event for people to dress in Santa Claus and Santa’s helpers costumes and frolic through the streets and locations in cities around the world.
This is much more than a pub crawl, and every time you call it that, a sugar plum fairy cries!
In San Miguel we donate to Audubon de Mexico, gather goods for the local people living or working at our landfill and support our local bars and restaurants. We have a great time, spread cheer and goodwill and help our community too.
BENEFITS TWO GREAT CAUSES!
