Cincinnati SantaCon is now an annual tradition in the Queen City and it's one of the funniest events you'll find all year long. This year, the festivities take place on Saturday, December 14th from noon to midnight.
Participants dress up in their best interpretation of a Santa outfit and hit the town on an organized pub crawl, of sorts.

These places will offer specials for all of the Santas and it gives you an idea of where to find others who are joining in the fun. Although all you really have to do is look for the other people in Santa hats.
