Minnesota Krampus is a 501c3 educational non-profit charity with the mission to preserve and promote the alpine winter traditions of St Nikolaus and his Krampus, in Minnesota and the upper Midwestern states. We are available for festivals all around Minnesota to bring our educational booth to or to bring Krampus alive. We continue to grow the number of events we attend each winter season (roughly from mid-November through mid-December) - including making special educational visits to all levels of education (K-12 and university) - so be sure to check out our events page. We also run an annual college scholarship for students interested in learning more about the Alps and the alpine people. If it isn’t evident already... the pairing of St Nikolaus and Krampus is an important one - St Nikolaus awards gifts/treats/toys to good children and he instructs Krampus to punish the naughty children. The pairing is a constant reminder to children (from 2 to 92) that decisions/actions have consequences in life and that we must always strive to be better people (to those around us and to ourselves). If you don’t care about the story of St Nikolaus and his Krampus - ok... we’re not here to force people to like what we do. But if you find a connection to St Nikolaus, his Krampus, and their story... the way we have... then we welcome you to be a fan, attend our events, and support our educational mission through purchasing shirts/scarves/hats at our booths or online.
