Attend an evening all about folklore, holiday traditions and the famed Alpine monster with author and Krampus expert Al Ridenour (The Krampus and the Old Dark Christmas) and friends. Through an illustrated presentation, Ridenour discusses how Krampus is connected to centuries-old witchcraft beliefs and an older, darker understanding of the Christmas season. Get there early for a pre-show cocktail hour, German holiday songs, costumed Krampuses and a video highlight reel screening. Costumes encouraged.
