People dressed in Santa Claus clothing are invited to participate in the inaugural Santacon Hamilton event at noon Saturday.

Kick-off is at Marcum Park on Dayton Street. Santas will dash through the 1K Fun Run at the park. Following that, participants are invited to explore the city, shopping at local stores and eating at restaurants. Many are offering discounts to Santas:
