Theatrical parade
- A Krampuslauf is a theatrical parade, where St. Nicholas leads a procession of costumed Krampus through a village, town, or designated area (e.g. Christmas Market, Square, etc…). The Krampus participants don alpine bells, frightening masks, and shaggy, animalistic costumes. You’ll hear them before you see them.
