KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — A non-denominational, non-commercial, non-political and nonsensical Santa Claus convention is taking place tonight in Kalamazoo.
The eighth-annual Santacon begins with a Santa run down the Kalamazoo Mall, and the rest of the event is a pub crawl that includes a couple of taverns and a few breweries.
The Santas will take part in the event until 2 a.m.
Their goal is to raise $1,000 for Read and Write Kalamazoo, a charity that works with young children to help them read and write with more proficiency.
Some of the breweries on their itinerary have created special beers just for tonight’s event.
