Krampusnacht / Krampus Night

👹Krampus is Coming…🔥

Step into the darker side of German holiday tradition with our 5th Annual Krampusnacht celebration! In Alpine folklore, Krampusnacht (Krampus Night) takes place on December 5th, the eve of St. Nikolaus Day, when the fearsome, horned Krampus roams the streets punishing the naughty while St. Nick rewards the nice. While he may look a little scary, our Krampus is here to bring playful mischief and plenty of holiday cheer!

This is a one-of-a-kind holiday party geared toward adults who want to eat, drink, dance, and celebrate the season with a playful nod to German tradition.

We’re proud to partner with Toys for Tots and the Palm Beach County Food Bank this holiday season!

Help us spread joy and kindness by donating new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items. Your generosity will help ensure that families throughout Palm Beach County enjoy a wonderful holiday season!✨

THE LEGEND OF KRAMPUS:

So the story is told, St. Nicholas and Krampus visit children on the 5th night of December. Saint Nicholas rewards the well-behaved children with modest gifts such as oranges, dried fruit, walnuts and chocolate, whilst the badly behaved ones only receive punishment with birch rods.
