Santa Claus isn’t the only one coming to town.

Krampus returns to The Milk District at Krampusfest - Sunday December 8, 2024, 2pm-9pm, on the grounds of The Plaza Live!

The fear doesn't end after Halloween...

Some people celebrate Santa Claus, some people celebrate The Grinch, but in The Milk District, we celebrate Krampus...

The Milk District Main Street organization invites you to kick off the holiday season at the annual Krampusfest holiday market and festival. As one of the largest Krampus-themed events in the nation, it’s the perfect way to add some unique fun and variety to your holiday festivities this year!

In the Alpine regions of Europe, St. Nicholas Day is always preceded by an evening for the yuletide ghoul, Krampus, to pass judgment upon the naughty list in an evening of revelry.

KrampusFest will bring the alpine spirit to The Milk District for a one-day-only extravaganza, FREE to attend!! The event will feature live music from Bad Santa & The Angry Elves, the Yelves, and other performers, professional photo opportunities with Krampus, culinary bites from local vendors, locally crafted beer, several full bars, the crowd favorite Krampuslauf (parade), and finally, the Krampusfest costume contest to complete the evening. Patrons, vendors, and participants are encouraged to dress up as Krampus or other characters.

Presented by The Plaza Live and Von Payne Whiskey. Biergarten from Sideward Brewing.
