We want to thank everyone who helped make this day possible—from the organizers who brought it all together, to the servers and staff at each stop along the way. We truly couldn’t have done it without your hard work, dedication, and holiday spirit.

A heartfelt thank you as well to all the participants who came out to celebrate, and to everyone who donated to support such a great cause. Your generosity and enthusiasm helped make Fargo Santacon for Charity a huge success.

Because of you, this season is a little warmer, a little brighter, and full of hope.

Hello everyone! On behalf of the planning committee for Fargo SantaCon for Charity and the Friends of the Gladys Ray Shelter, I am announcing that we will not be having the official pub crawl portion of Fargo SantaCon for Charity this year due to the pandemic numbers still being high. While we are all very disappointed, we cannot sponsor an event that would be unsafe. HOWEVER, two things. 1: We WILL be having an event like last year where you can drop off donations for the shelter. The date is December 4 and it will be late morning - mid afternoon. More details to come. 2. While it won't be OFFICIAL, if anyone wants to dress up in holiday attire with friends and show up at some of our local downtown establishments, (before or after you drop off your donations!), that's all about you and the holiday spirit - have fun! 3. We are contacting a couple of downtown establishments to be drop off donation spots for a couple of weeks before and after Dec. 4. Look for announcements in mid-November. Let's do what we can to get through this pandemic and make SantaCon 2022 a real live in person crawl again!!!
