Krampusnacht DC A page for all things related to Krampusnacht in Washington DC. Managed by the DCKrampusKollectiv and benefiting local charity.

Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish children during the Christmas season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children in his sack and carry them away to his lair.
