Milwaukee Krampusnacht

Expand

In Central European lore, every December 5th, children are visited by St. Nick and a less welcome visitor: Krampus the Christmas demon, an unsavory figure who punishes bad children. After a sold-out first year, Milwaukee Krampusnacht returns to a new location, the Bavarian Bierhaus, to celebrate the darker side of the holiday season with a night of live music, food and drink, craft vendors (at the Krampus Market) and a freaky Krampus parade. The Squeezettes, Sunspot, Xposed 4heads and Sweet Sheiks will provide the music, and the Bavarian Bierhaus has brewed a special barrel-aged whiskey doppelbock for the event called Bells & Chains. Tickets are priced between $1-$5, and attendees are encouraged to bring a toy to donate to Toys for Tots.
