KRAMPUS COMES TO TACOMA
Tacoma Halloween Parade + Spooky Street Fair | Saturday, October 17, 2026
Members of Krampus Bremerton will be marching in Tacoma's 3rd Annual Halloween Parade, bringing a taste of the old Alpine winter tradition to the streets of the historic Proctor District.
This free, all-ages community celebration takes over North Proctor between 26th and 29th Streets with a Spooky Street Fair featuring 70+ vendors, handcrafts, food, entertainment, a kids market, and the Creep It Real Costume Contest. When the sun goes down, the parade rolls out, and that's when you'll find us: horns, fur, bells, and all.
Come say hello, snap a photo with a Krampus if you dare, and get an early look at what's waiting for you this December.
