Krampusnacht, or “Krampus Night,” is a traditional festival celebrated on the evening of December 5th in Alpine regions such as Austria, Germany, and parts of Central Europe. The event is centered around Krampus, a fearsome, horned creature from folklore who serves as a counterpart to Saint Nicholas. While Saint Nicholas rewards well-behaved children with gifts and treats, Krampus punishes naughty children by frightening them, carrying them away in his sack, or whipping them with birch branches. The origins of Krampus date back to pre-Christian Alpine traditions, where he likely emerged as a pagan figure associated with winter solstice rites and the taming of nature’s chaotic forces. Over time, Krampus was incorporated into Christian traditions as part of the celebrations of Saint Nicholas Day on December 6th.

The Krampusnacht celebration typically includes parades, festivals, and “Krampuslauf” (Krampus runs), during which participants dress as Krampus in elaborate costumes with masks, bells, and chains. These events can be both frightening and festive, as Krampus revelers roam the streets interacting with spectators. The tradition nearly faded in the 20th century due to opposition from the church and political authorities but saw a revival in recent decades as a unique cultural event. Today, Krampusnacht is celebrated not only in Alpine regions but also in other parts of the world, as people embrace its blend of folklore, dark humor, and festive spectacle.
