A Wednesday announcement confirmed that New York City's annual SantaCon event would remain on dry land, after formerly advertised party boats were canceled.
SantaCon has canceled plans for five party boats offered as part of the annual bar crawl, citing concerns from local politicians and a lack of planning from the event's organizers.
The gathering featuring participants dressed as Santa Claus and other Christmas-themed characters is scheduled for December 14 in New York City, and marketing materials for the event promoted free trips on the party boats, fundraising for the Secret Sandy Claus Project, and"absurdist joy." In a since-deleted Instagram post, SantaCon advertised hourly cruises departing from the Skyport Marina every hour beginning at 11 a.m.
"A full-day free event of this size, particularly one which attracts attendees likely to be intoxicated, will cause a substantial disturbance to the neighborhood," the letter stated. The politicians also noted the decreased police presence around SantaCon, which will offer the event less assistance in keeping a large crowd contained.
