People have been asking if there are any St. Louis area Krampus events planned this holiday season. Here is a Krampus-themed event thrown by our friends at The Whiskey Ring on December 20. Follow their social media for further details.

We are not having a Krampusnacht event this year, but that doesn't mean Krampus isn't watching you. Don't be naughty.

We regret to announce that we are cancelling the 2024 St. Louis Krampusnacht event. We have decided that recent changes on Cherokee Street will make it difficult to stage the event in a format that our longtime Krampus fans would enjoy. Some venues vital to the event are no longer available. It has been our thrill to bring you the annual St. Louis Krampusnacht eight times over the last 10 years, as well as Krampus in July and other Krampus-themed special events. The Krampus team will regroup, reformulate and relaunch St. Louis Krampusnacht in a new location very soon. Until then, stay tuned and thank you for your love and support throughout the years!

Greetings from Krampus! Our St. Louis Krampusnacht event is always the first Saturday night in December. But the real Krampusnacht falls on December 5 each year. So watch out for Krampus tonight! He's definitely making the rounds.

Thank you to everyone who came to the eighth annual St. Louis Krampusnacht 2023! We hope you had a great time! Special thanks to Abi Sith (sorry about the rain) and Magic Amanda, and the management and staff of Yaquis, Earthbound Beer, Whiskey Ring and Fortune Teller Bar! We could not put on the Krampus Krawl every year without the support of Cherokee Street businesses!

It is officially Krampusnacht! The eve of the Feast of Saint Nicholas. Though we schedule our annual event the first Saturday of December, the traditional date for Krampusnacht is December 5. Krampus should be visiting your house soon, if he has not already knocked on your door. Gruss von Krampus!

Thank you everyone for coming to the seventh annual St. Louis Krampusnacht! We hope you all had a great time! Three years after our last event, we wondered if anyone would still remember poor Krampus. But you showed us that the spirit of Krampus is alive and thriving in St. Louis! Please share photos from the event here, or tag them with so we can find them! We look forward to seeing everyone next year for St. Louis Krampusnacht 2023!
