about:
Celebrating the Bavarian tradition, Krampus Bremerton brings Yuletide fun to the Kitsap Peninsula and the surrounding Puget Sound area. Krampus is a centuries old tradition, pre-dating St. Nicholas, inspiring people to be nice by deterring naughty behavior. Krampus is a horned, half-goat creature that traditionally emerges on December 5th every year. Taking queues from Perchten tradition, Krampus Bremerton makes appearances throughout the Yuletide season. With a formal festival started in 2022, Krampus and his friends appear in downtown Bremerton on the first Saturday of every December, for Krampusnacht Bremerton.
