Countless Kris Kringle clones and other Christmas characters took over the bars of downtown Phoenix on Saturday, December 8, during Santarchy 2018. The annual costumed bar crawl involves hundreds of folks dressed as Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and in various other costumes inspired by the holidays. This year’s version featured stops at The Park, Bar Smith, Kettle Black, and other downtown drinkeries, as well as plenty of merry madness.
