Krampus Elf Registration

Perform with Krampus Bremerton and keep the mystery alive!

Be One of Krampus Bremerton’s Elves

Step into the shadows and join the Krampuslauf as one of Krampus Bremerton’s Elves! This is a performance role—no acting experience required—that adds a theatrical and mysterious edge to the character of Krampus Bremerton. We are seeking 15 volunteers to fill this exciting role in the parade.

About the Role

As an Elf, you’ll march at the head of Krampus Bremerton, forming the dramatic final entry of the parade. Ten participants will be chained together in two rows of five, carrying lanterns and banners, while the remaining five add atmosphere around them.

Elves will walk slowly in line, pausing as Krampus Bremerton engages with the crowd. As part of the performance, you may be lightly struck by Krampus Bremerton’s switch, adding to the spectacle and authenticity of the tradition.

Participation Requirements

  • Each Elf will receive a numbered cow tag that must be worn and attached to the costume at all times.

  • For festival safety, all participants must provide a non-costumed profile photo of their face prior to the event.

What You’ll Do

  • Dress in a provided black robe costume

  • March in formation as part of the climactic Krampuslauf performance

  • Carry lanterns and banners (for those in the chained rows)

  • Add mystery, atmosphere, and theatrical presence to the parade

What to Wear

  • Dress in all black clothing underneath your robe

  • Wear layers and prepare for cold, outdoor winter weather

  • No additional makeup, masks, or costume elements needed—everything is provided

Why Join?

This is your chance to be part of a one-of-a-kind performance that is at the heart of Krampusnacht Bremerton. You don’t need acting experience—just a willingness to embody the role and help bring the legend to life.
