When is Krampus Night?

Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night, traditionally takes place on December 5th, the night before the feast of Saint Nicholas. During this night, people dress up as Krampus and roam the streets, participating in parades and festivities that celebrate the dual nature of the holiday season

I won’t be roaming the streets dressed as Krampus on the 5th –  I’ll probably be putting up my tree.

It would be fun to attend a Krampus Night Festival, but I always manage to miss it! Well. There’s always next year, right?

Here’s a new report about Krampus Night here in Washington state.
