KRAMPUSNACHT 2025 at the German-American Society

Step into a world where folklore meets fire and music conjures the shadows. This is not your average holiday party—this is Krampusnacht, a visceral celebration of the darker side of winter tradition.

Encounter the fearsome Krampuses in full regalia—handcrafted costumes, masks, and raw, primal energy that will leave you breathless.

Lose yourself in a sonic ritual as DJ NightRaven spins a relentless mix of German metal, Dark Wave, Post-Punk, and Industrial.

Prepare to be mesmerized by the **Island Witches**, whose fire performances blur the line between ritual and spectacle. Their flames will light up the night—and your soul.

Watch glühwein ignite in a fiery cascade during our Feuerzangenbowle demonstration—a traditional German drink that’s as dramatic as it is delicious.

Feast like a beast with authentic German fare: sizzling bratwurst, hearty goulash, and frothy brews that warm you from the inside out.
