KRAMPUS IN JULY – An Evening of Naughty Fun Saturday July 26th in St. Louis

The Krampus is the anti-Santa Claus, a wicked beast from the folklore of the Alpine countries of Europe who loves to swat children who have misbehaved at Christmas with his bundle of birch sticks and rusty chains before dragging them in baskets to the underworld. Krampus is celebrated on Krampusnacht, which takes place on the eve of St. Nicholas’ Day. In parts of Europe, party-goers masquerade as devils, wild-men, and witches to participate in Krampuslauf (Krampus Run). Intoxicated and bearing torches, costumed devils caper and carouse through the streets terrifying children and adults alike. Krampusnacht is increasingly being celebrated in other parts of Europe as well as in many American cities, and next weekend the Krampus will be coming to St. Louis!

The Krampus Research Association of St. Louis will be throwing an event this Saturday, July 26^th called Krampus in July – an Evening of Naughty Fun for Bad Little Boys and Girls! The party will be held at Melt Lounge located at 2712 Cherokee St, St. Louis 63118. The festivities begin at 9pm.

There will be no torches but there will be plenty of entertainment. Check out this line-up: the magic of Zi Teng Wang, the musical stylings of Ellen the Felon, the Neil Diamond tribute by Schmiel Diamond, the sideshow spectacle of Tammy Paxton, and the sexy burlesque moves of Little Bo Peepshow.

There will be a suggested donation of $10 at the door. Your support will help The Krampus Research Association bring a traditional, European-style Krampus festival to St. Louis, to be held on December 6, 2014.
