Description

Join dozens of besotted Santas as we tour the central shopping district of of our great city, spreading holiday fear, I mean cheer. This ride is a long standing and proud tradition. OK, some have called it shameful, but either way, at least it's long standing, so no half-a$$ed costumes will be tolerated. Full Santa regalia is strictly enforced, though Grinches and Elves may be grudgingly allowed. There are rumors that someone in a Grinch costume survived the ride once. There are also rampant allegations of Elf abuse, that I can neither confirm, nor deny at this time. Wear what you dare, but you have been warned.
Also beware of a fringe group of riders calling themselves "Dreidels" that have appeared in years past, with the goal of co-opting, or even commandeering our ride. Their costumes may seem laughable, but their tactics are sinister, and they are not to be underestimated.

Even though I won't be able to make to Chicago's Santa Rampage, Milwaukee has one this Saturday. Dec. 11, taking off from Cafe Hollander on Downer Ave. and going south to Cafe Centraal on Kinnickinnic Ave. in Bay View. You're all invited!

Surprisingly, the santa costume I borrowed last time I went out was still in tact by the time I returned it. I'll have to find another generous soul with an extra suit and beard to lend this year. :)
