OUR 9TH ANNUAL KRAMPUSNACHT!
KRAMPUS IS COMING! AND WE ARE EXCITED TO CELEBRATE WITH ALL OF YOU THIS YEAR! Krampus costumes highly encouraged!
We will be celebrating Krampusnacht, on ACTUAL Krampusnacht - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5th

6:00pm to 8:00pm
(family friendly area | 21+ with valid ID at the bar)
Our Krampusnacht starting point is the creative and darkly beautiful CAFE BEWILDERMENT – our incredible Hertel neighbors up the street!
Nestled inside of The Monocle at 1235 Hertel Avenue, where nature’s magic meets the warmth of community. Step into their ethereal escape, a queer-owned haven inspired by the beauty of the forest and the spirit of belonging! PLUS - THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WORKING FIREPLACE and seasonal drinks!

8:00pm to midnight (21+ with valid ID / $5. at the door)
The procession - or Krampuslauf! The procession is open families - with kids needing to be accompanied by adults.
We are escorted by St Nicholas, his angels, witches, and drummers to Revolution Gallery and Lounge where we continue the party – KRAMPUS STYLE – with DJ DR WISZ spinning music all night! Friendly reminder that entrance to the Gallery and Lounge is a $5. cover / and is 21+ with valid ID. Cocktails, beer, wine, and zero-proof options available at both bars!

11:00pm - COSTUME CONTEST! $50. FOR FIRST PRIZE!
ART and MORE ART!
Artist and Scenic Designer Mallory Mordaunt is creating a spooky KRAMPUS DISPLAY in our windows to be unveiled after the Krampuslauf! And Anthony Brown will be adding his own Krampus touches with his creations in Gallery Two!
We also have our Dark Celebration exhibit that is perfect to keep the Krampus vibe going throughout our annual celebration!
