Running of the Santas, New Orleans

The Running of the Santas combines fundraising for local charities with a rollicking costumed bar crawl, and based on its popularity in past years, it's a delicious combination.

Revelers don their red and white Santa finest, and after a brief, spend the night bar hopping with new and old friends. There's live music, plentiful drink specials, and even a "Hottest Santa" contest, making this the liveliest charity event you're likely to find.
