SantaCon 2021 live updates – Chaos in Seattle and NYC as event returns after pandemic and fights break out

SantaCon 2021 returned NYC for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing chaos and at least one reported fight.

Freedom News TV posted a video of what appears to be a physical altercation between some party-goers last night.

SantaCon returned to New York City one day after Governor Kathy Hochul announced that a statewide mask mandate would be in effect starting December 13.

The event featured DJs, elaborate Santa costumes, and an eggnog waterfall contest.

SantaCon is an annual charitable bar crawl, encouraging patrons to come dressed in their best Christmas gear.

With merry Santas enjoying holiday cocktails throughout NYC, SantaCon is known to get a little rowdy.

Prior to the event, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced an alcohol ban on Metro-North and Long Island Railroads, with extra law enforcement stationed at Penn Station and Grand Central Station to confiscate any intoxicating beverages.
