Thousands of costumed revelers will celebrate Christmastime festivities when the "Running of the Santas" returns to the New Orleans Warehouse District on December 8. The annual extravaganza kicks off at 11 a.m. from the "South Pole" located at Manning's where revelers will experience live music and special holiday drinks. Admission is $15-$75.
The crowd of Santas will then depart for the four block "Fun Run" at 5:45 p.m. to the "North Pole" located at Generations Hall.
An estimated 4,000+ participants will be dressed up as Santa, Scrooge, Jingle Bells, Jack Frost, Old Man Winter, the inevitable naughty Mrs. Claus and more.
Category 6 and Paris Avenue will headline this year's holiday event.
