Get ready to dust off your Santa suits! SantaCon Hayward, an annual tradition orchestrated by Anna May and her dedicated team of volunteers, is gearing up to bring festive cheer and community spirit to Downtown Hayward once again.
While historically known as a "bar crawl," SantaCon Hayward has evolved into a beloved community event that combines holiday fun with a powerful mission. The event's success is fueled by Downtown Hayward businesses that generously donate money to HASB to become registered stops along the route.
The best part? All money raised during SantaCon goes directly towards sponsoring dog adoptions at HASB.
Participants can enjoy a variety of food options along the route, and businesses also offer creative and delicious mocktails for those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages.
Give a pet the best gift this year: a forever home!
Join us for the Hayward Animal Shelter's "Home for the Holidays" adoption event on December 13th from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM!
Thanks to the generosity of Santacon Hayward, adoptions will be $0 for qualified homes! * (A $17 license fee for City of Hayward residents and some exclusions apply).
While you're here, enjoy our Raffle & Bake Sale, with all proceeds going directly to benefit the shelter animals.
Come find your new best friend!
