The snake-tongued Anti-Claus is back in town for several events starting on Krampus Night, Wed. Dec. 5, with the Louisville Krampus Celebration at Art Sanctuary!
It’s that time of year again and the bells are ringing, however if you’ve been bad this year, those might not be Christmas bells but instead the clanging chimes of doom. That’s right, Krampus is coming down from his icy mountain peak and he’s headed directly for the River City (and the local region) to punish all of us sinners before his brother Saint Nicholas arrives to award all the little good two-shoes later in the month. His first stop will be Art Sanctuary on Krampusnacht next Wednesday.
The Louisville Krampus Celebration: Wednesday, Dec. 5 from 7PM – 2AM at Art Sanctuary, 1433 S. Shelby St. Entry fee is $10. This is the second annual Krampus Night event brought to you by The Louisville Gore Club, Highlands Taproom Grill, Seidenfaden’s, Riotheart Media and organizer Steve Vessell. There will be exclusive Krampus drink specials sponsored by Fireball and Southern Tier.
This year the Louisville Krampus Celebration is going FULL NAUGHTY. This means 18 and over only. There will be five bands, Burlesque performers, magicians and artists. Expect to find 30 alternative holiday vendors. Have you picture taken with Krampus, enter a Krampus costume contest and drink Krampus beer on tap!
