Celebrate Krampusnacht at 5 p.m. on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at Marz Community Brewing Co., 3630 S. Iron St., Chicago.

Wear your bells and horns to join others celebrating Krampus, the Germanic Christmas goat-demon who stalks from home to home punishing naughty children by swatting them with switches and stuffing them into his basket to carry them back to hell.

Enjoy a Krampus-themed performance by the M.E.o.W. Puppet Show and a ritual Krampuslauf through the tap room by the Environmental Encroachment Marching Band. A Naughty Night Market presents Krampus-themed art from Environmental Encroachment artisans, Krampus masks and ornaments from La Casa de Satanus, and other gifts and merchandise.

Marz Brewing will be pouring their seasonal holiday brew: Krambiscus, available in its own glassware and as holiday stocking-stuffer gifts.
