Celebrate the holidays and help spread good cheer by dressing and drinking as the cheeriest elf with a beard — Santa. Grab your favorite Santa, Mrs. Santa, reindeer or elf costume and head to Fountain Square at noon on Saturday to begin what is essentially a Christmas-themed pubcrawl. All day and night, registered participants will receive tweets telling them which bar to go to or which intersection to meet at for a carol singing session. The “sleigh” shuttle does a loop every half hour, stopping at Monk’s, Holy Grail, Igby’s and Lackman. The event is partnered with The Cure Starts Now so participants can spread even more good cheer by donating.
Noon-midnight Saturday. Free. Begins at Horseshoe Casino, 1000 Broadway St., Pendleton, cincinnatisantacon.com.
