2026 KRAMPUSNACHT PERFORMER, HANDLER & PHOTOGRAPHER REGISTRATION
We’re now accepting registrations for Performer Handlers and Event Photographers for Krampusnacht Bremerton 2026, and we’d love for you to be part of the team that helps bring the festival to life.
Performer Handlers support costumed performers throughout the event by helping them navigate crowds, manage interactions, and stay safe when visibility or mobility is limited. Event Photographers help capture the energy, spectacle, and unforgettable moments of the night, documenting the festival for future promotion and storytelling. Both roles are essential to creating a safe, smooth, and magical experience for performers and attendees alike.
If you enjoy being close to the action, working in a fast-paced environment, and contributing behind the scenes to one of the country’s most unique winter festivals, we invite you to register and join us. Approved participants will receive additional details and event guidance closer to the festival date.

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.
Krampus Bremerton welcomes everyone to participate! Whether you’re interested in joining our events as a business, dressing up in your own costume, attending an event, or wanting more information…you’ll find all of the resources here to help guide you to the right place.
