It looks like Santa Claus isn't coming to town after all, at least not with alcohol. 
The annual SantaCon bar crawl was reportedly moving its December event from Manhattan to Bushwick, but organizers say that it's no longer happening. 
SantaCon released a statement saying in part, "After our initial exploration, the team at SantaCon NYC has determined that Bushwick does not have the capacity to be an appropriate destination for this year's celebration." 
Residents of the neighborhood had voiced their protests about the event, which sees nearly 30,000 bar goers dressed up like Saint Nick, during a Community Board 4 meeting Wednesday night. 
SantaCon will be held on Dec. 13 starting at 10 a.m. The starting point will be announced the night before.
