Don’t panic when you find a swarm of Santas in the summer. The red fluffy costumes that we usually see on Christmas made an appearance at Bakken amusement park, north of Copenhagen in Denmark, on Monday, as the 61st World Santa Claus Congress kicked off. /VCG Photo

The four-day event is a professional forum for Santas to exchange experiences, network and have some fun. It attracts more than 150 participants from all over the world. /VCG Photo

The first Santa Claus World Congress was held in 1957. It was created by Professor Tribini, who did not believe that Christmas should only happen once a year, so he started “Christmas in July.” /VCG Photo

Various activities such as a Santa parade, a large Christmas gala show, saltwater bath and the Santa World Championships were scheduled during the congress. /VCG Photo
