SantaCon 2013 Visits Brooklyn Heights, Weirds Out Park Plaza Diner

After hitting dozens of bars in the East Village, the drunken Santas, gingerbread cookies and reindeer of SantaCon 2013 streamed into Cadman Plaza Park in Downtown Brooklyn today, where a DJ blasting holiday music was set up in a tent.

Other than some sloppiness, bad dancing and mock fighting, the crowds were fairly well behaved and played "reindeer games.". The 84th Precinct had a half a dozen officers stationed around the park, but didn't have to do much other than laugh at the participants.

There's a Rudolph dance-off & reindeer games at Camden Plaza Park East in Brooklyn! #NYCSantacon http://t.co/odeVhLEvPT

Hundreds of Santas quickly overwhelmed the Park Plaza diner, where those in charge didn't seem to understand the exact nature of the event and kept offering consumables other than beer. Others streamed towards Montague Street and DUMBO.

This Santa was strikingly dedicated to holiday hair colors.

This year's event started at Tompkins Square Park in the East Village, and wound up with afterparties on Atlantic Ave. near Classon Ave.

Friendly reminder: Don't fuck with KIDS, COPS, BAR STAFF or NYC. Dont Be a Jerk! It's #TheSantaCode. #NYCSantacon
