The annual hibernal holiday pub crawl (or horror show, depending on whether or not you appreciate 10,000 drunk Santas on the streets) known as Cincinnati SantaCon returned on Dec. 14 — bigger than ever.
Last year, those dressed like Santa and other Christmasy characters met at the "North Pole" and embarked on a costumed group pub crawl around downtown Cincinnati and Over-the-Rhine. This year, drinking destinations in Northside, Covington and Mount Adams joined in the fray. (Note: Other years have also included stops in Mount Adams, just not last year.) More than 50 venues across the area participated.
