And I ll always on the 24th wear my Santa hat and pass out candy canes to the kids,  said Lepore, who s been dancing in the streets since 1984.A longtime local favorite, Providence dropped Lepore s services after he helped organize a picket outside a Dunkin  Donuts where a worker wrote  #blacklivesmatter  on a police officer s coffee cup.
