SANTACON
AT VARIOUS WAIKIKI LOCATIONS

There’s really only one thing you need to keep in mind if you’re interested in joining in on the fifth annual SantaCon: the dress code. That’s because everyone who participates has to dress up as Santa — and just putting on a hat isn’t going to do it. (But you can also go as an elf, a tree or anything else related to Christmas, if you want.) The night starts at 6 p.m. and also will be collecting donations for Hawaii Foodbank at its first stop, Tiki’s Grill and Bar. After Tiki’s, the bar crawl goes to Jimmy Buffet’s at the Beachcomber, Moose’s, Kelly O’Neil’s and other area bars.
