The darkness returns to Bremerton.

Krampusnacht Bremerton is back for 2026, transforming downtown into a winter folklore festival celebrating the darker side of the holiday season. Join thousands of visitors for an evening filled with Krampus creatures, fire, music, art, and holiday mischief.

Beginning at 2:00 PM, the Krampus Market opens with dozens of vendors offering dark holiday goods, handcrafted art, gifts, curiosities, and seasonal treats. Local businesses throughout downtown will also feature Krampus-themed drinks, food, and specials throughout the evening.

At 5:30 PM, the streets erupt with the Krampuslauf Parade — a procession of horned Krampus performers, drummers, and wild alpine spirits marching through downtown Bremerton in a spectacle of noise, fire, and tradition. This unforgettable parade is the heart of the festival and draws Krampus groups from across the region.

Throughout the event you can expect:

• The Krampus Market (2–9 PM)
• Krampuslauf Parade (5:30 PM)
• Krampus performers roaming downtown
• Fire performers and drummers
• Krampus-themed food and drinks

Krampusnacht Bremerton has grown into one of the largest Krampus celebrations in the United States, drawing visitors from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Come celebrate the strange, the wild, and the wicked side of the holidays.
