Krampus is a figure from Central European folklore, often depicted as a half-goat, half-demon creature with horns, fangs, and a long tongue. Traditionally, Krampus accompanies Saint Nicholas during the Christmas season, particularly on Krampusnacht (Krampus Night) on December 5th.
While Saint Nicholas rewards well-behaved children with gifts and treats, Krampus is responsible for punishing those who have misbehaved. He carries a bundle of birch sticks for swatting naughty children and sometimes a sack or basket to carry them away. The figure of Krampus serves as a dark counterpart to the benevolent Saint Nicholas, embodying the concept of retribution during the festive season. This tradition has evolved over the years, and Krampus has become a popular figure in modern culture, celebrated in various festivals and events that embrace his mischievous and frightening persona.
The 2025 Krampus Ball will be hosted at Fallout (117 N. 18th St.), after the end of the Krampus Walk in Carytown!
