Krampusnacht and Market of Shadows

Dare to step into the shadows of the season at the Krampusnacht and Market of Shadows, where the eerie and the enchanting collide in a celebration of dark winter folklore. Join us for two nights of spine-chilling revelry:

📅 December 5 | 6 PM - 10 PM – Krampusnacht Bazaar
📅 December 6 | 3 PM - 7 PM – Krampusnacht Bazaar
📅 December 6 | 7 PM - Late – Krampusnacht Krawl

Wander through a hauntingly festive market filled with ghoulishly delightful artisan wares and eerie oddities December 5-December 6 at the Light Lounge at Vern's Tavern. Then, as the night deepens on December 6th, unleash your inner Krampus for the Krampusnacht Krawl—a sinister procession through Downtown Elgin’s businesses.

Wear your best Krampus costume, ugly Christmas sweater, or Nightmare Before Christmas attire and prowl from one location to the next, indulging in dark delights, seasonal spirits, and delicious mischief. Naughty children beware—you might just end up on the menu!

More details coming soon… if you dare.
