Hundreds of Santas, pixies, and elves gathered in amusement park Bakken near Copenhagen on Monday to celebrate the 61st annual World Santa Claus Congress.

The four-day event was founded by Danish entertainer Christian Jørgen, also known as “Professor Tribini” Nielsen, who appeared as a Danish Santa in Copenhagen for many years. The idea was to have Santas from around the world come for a “Christmas in July,” the website reads.

Included in the event are boat rides, parades, guided tours of Bakken, a “Santa pentathlon,” and more.
