KRAMPUS RUMPUS & HOLIDAY MARKET 2024
We are extremely excited (also terrified) to host our Krampus Rumpus & Holiday Night Market for a second year in a row! Last year was such a huge success that we are making it a TWO-DAY event. Alongside a live German band, Bravarian Dancers, and festive/scary entertainment, you’ll get to shop from local vendors for your holiday gifts, cards, art, treats, clothing, and more.
This is a private event, and advanced tickets are required to attend.

DETAILS
Krampus Los Angeles returns to Benny Boy Brewing, a Lincoln Heights maker of beer and cider with a perfectly festive beer garden strung with lights and glowing with fire pits. Come sundown, the devils begin sneaking amongst the party-goers.
HOLIDAY MARKET
SHOP: Local artisans will be on hand to help with your holiday gift shopping. Among the arts and crafts you’ll find more than a few Krampus-themed items, including books, chocolate devils, horned headdresses, and KRAMPUS LOS ANGELES shirts.
DRINK: Sample Benny Boy’s European-inspired California-inflected brews in the tank bar or visit the cider house for some unique offerings, including steaming mulled cider.
EAT: Pop-ups from favorite local kitchens will cater to all your gastronomical needs throughout the event.
COSTUME: 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. Arrive early to exchange pleasantries and snap shots with fellow Krampus aficionados decked out in their diabolically festive best. PRIZES for outstanding costumes during the show
STAGE SHOW
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. He will be joined this year by musical accomplices, DIE SAUERKRAUTS, churning out frothy polka favorites that will get you bouncing, swinging, and swigging that beer.
More music from the Krampus homeland will be 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.
KRAMPUSES
Soon after the last tuba note 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 NOTE: They’re friendly to photo requests (assuming you’ve been good this year). But beware the towering black goat-demon, Habergeiss!
VALET PARKING ONLY. Very limited street parking nearby. Rideshare is highly recommended. Valet service available all evening.DETAILS
