The Third Annual Krampuslauf Krampus Parade Was Held In Philadelphia, PA On December 14, 2013

For the third year, Liberty Lands Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hosted the Krampuslauf. It took place yesterday, December 14, 2013. Everyone in attendance roughed it out there in the snow and then in the snow/rain mix. My gloves, hat and jacket were soaked (oddly, my shirt, tie and most of my jeans were not soaked). I made sure to go to the fire pit as often as I could.

Here is some video footage of the third annual Krampuslauf before, during and after the specific Krampus Parade. The video footage includes the introduction, some Krampus and Nikolaus memorabilia, the Parade itself, the fire pit and the fire dancers. Note: There is no sound from 10:44 to the end of this video.

Photographs  (as you will see, some people really turned it up a notch with the creativity that went into some of the costumes) ...








This fire pit was a lifesaver for me (steam was actually coming out of my gloves when I got near the flames) ...











 
 See you next year ...
