Denver's annual Santa Pub Crawl started in 2002 with just a handful of Saint Nick impersonators who gathered to partake in some festive day drinking — and to donate toys to families in need. These days more than 2,000 people participate, dressed as Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, elves, reindeer and many other red, white and green holiday characters. This year's crawl started at Fadó Irish Pub on Saturday, December 3, before revelers made their way to several other Ballpark and LoDo bars. What was once a free event now requires a registration fee, but all proceeds are donated to charities that help out underprivileged kids — for a Merry Christmas to all! Photos by Aaron Thackeray.
