Krampus Los Angeles is back, and they’ve chosen a new venue for 2023: Benny Boy Brewing!
We are extremely excited (also terrified) to host this year’s Krampus Rumpus, and we’re adding on a Holiday Night Market for extra funzies (and terror). Alongside a live German band, Bravarian Dancers, and festive/scary entertainment, you’ll get to shop from 18 local vendors for your holiday gifts, cards, art, treats, clothing, and more. Plus we’ll have piping HOT spiced mulled cider on hand.
P.S. Its best you get in the spirit and dress for the occasion (prizes for outstanding costumes) Come sundown on Sunday, December 10th, the devils start sneaking through the beer-garden…
See you there!

WHAT TO EXPECT
COME EARLY & SHOP THE HOLIDAY NIGHT MARKET (Doors at 3pm)
15+ Local artisans will be on hand to help with your holiday gift shopping. Among the arts and crafts you’re bound to find more than a few Krampus-themed items (Death by Chocolate’s confectionary devils, or horned headdresses by MsFormaldehyde, for instance). The Krampus Los Angeles 2023 shirt will also be available. Food pop-ups Baserriko Peppers (w/ a special German menu), Tirzah’s Mexi-Terranean (w/ Christmas tamales and green pozole), and Nona Rosa Pizza (w/ wood fired pizza) will be serving throughout the event.
Arrive early to soak in the holiday Gemütlichkeit (coziness)! Laze under the twinkling beer garden lights or by one of the firepits, sip on some pipping HOT spiced mulled cider, and exchange pleasantries and snap shots with fellow Krampus aficionados turned out in their diabolically festive best.
NOTE: You’re likely to see a Krampus or two scouting out the site before the big invasion. They’re friendly to photo requests (assuming you’ve been good this year).
THE ENTERTAINMENT (8:00-10:00)
The Alpine festivities begin with the Bavarian music and dance group, G.T.E.V. D’OBERLANDLER presenting genuine Schuhplattler dances. Along with this shoe-slapping folk dance, they’ll pick out tunes on an array of cowbells and bellow out some tunes on their mighty 10’ alpenhorn. We’ll continue with music from the Krampus’ homeland, provided by LADYHOSEN, named for their (almost) namesake leather britches. The all-female lineup is fronted by Munich native Kathrin Jacobs, singing and yodeling you silly. She’s joined by India Anderson on tuba and Jessica Fichot on accordion.
Soon after the last tuba note from Ladyhosen fades, an unholy clanking and clattering will arise. Those at a safe distance will soon see horns waggling over the crowd. The brave and foolish on the frontline will feel the swat of switches as the stomping, snarling devils of KRAMPUS LOS ANGELES ATTACK, out in full force for the first time since their long hibernation in a San Gabriel mountain cave. Rumor has it that the towering hell-goat known as the Habergeiss and legendary Pinecone Man may even join the marauding horde.
Presiding over the evening will be FESTMEISTER HANS, comedian, singer, actor and emcee for the oldest and largest Oktoberfest in California at the late, great Alpine Village. Prepare for some chicken dancing and stein-hoisting chants. Bay Area impresario KIMRIC SMYTHE and accordionist extraordinaire RENEE DE LA PRADE also promise to incite singalong silliness.
COSTUMES:
It’s not required, but we’ve noticed that Krampus fans tend to show up in amazing outfits, dressed as a Krampus, Krampus-lite, Krampus-adjacent, Bavarian party animal, or in other holiday looks. PRIZES for outstanding costumes.
