Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence & SF Krampus summon Holiday mischief with the Annual Krampus Pageant!!
Spooky drag, devilish costumes, and live performances raise funds for LGBTQ+ youth
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and SF Krampus are calling on the Bay Area to embrace the darker side of the holiday season with the Annual Krampus Pageant, returning to El Rio on Saturday, December 6, 2025. This raucous night of drag, live music, and devilish spectacle raises funds for Larkin Street Youth Services, a nonprofit dedicated to ending youth homelessness in San Francisco.
In previous years, the pageant raised over $6,000 to support LGBTQ+ youth, and this year organizers are aiming even higher.
“The Krampus Pageant is where camp, chaos, and the naughty kids from SF come to support our Communities in need,” said Sister Tilda NexTime, of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. “We celebrate Queer joy while spotlighting the spooky side of the holidays, and every dollar raised helps young people who need it most. ”
A Wicked Night of Competition
Contestants will compete for the title of Krampus of 2025, battling it out in three rounds:
* Costume: From traditional Krampus to original monstrous creations, all sinister beings are welcome.
* Talent Act: Lip-sync, dance, speech, or other delightfully dark performances.
* Q&A: Contestants must charm (or terrify) a panel of stern judges.
Winners will receive wicked prizes including a special effects makeup package and other holiday surprises.

Event Highlights
