A Convention with a Conscience

Santacon KCK is Kansas City, Kansas's annual celebration of holiday absurdity and community generosity. Every December, hundreds of Santas descend on Historic Strawberry Hill for a day of pub crawling, dancing, and giving back.

We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — which means every ticket sold, every dollar donated, and every merch item purchased flows directly into programs that support KCK families throughout the year. Dress ridiculous. Do good. Repeat.

Why We Do It
Kansas City Santacon is more than a day of merriment — we're a community that raises money for local charities while spreading joy, even in the middle of summer.

What Do I Wear?

Simple: come as Santa. Beyond that, the only rule is to commit. Here are a few looks that pass muster:

🎅
Classic Santa
Red suit, white beard, black boots. You can't go wrong with the original.
👙
Sexy Santa
Santa hat + holiday-themed everything else. It's KCK — we don't judge.
🕺
Santa Soirée
Black tie with a Santa hat on top. Elegant chaos. The Soirée's signature look.
🦌
The Reindeer
Can't find a red suit? Antlers and a brown sweater will absolutely do the trick.
🧣
Ugly Sweater
A solid backup for first-timers. Add a Santa hat and you're officially in.

Shop official Santacon KCK gear — t-shirts, long sleeves, and Santa hats — at the official store.
