The Fourth Annual Krampuslauf Krampus Parade Was Held In Philadelphia, PA On December 13, 2014

The Fourth Annual Krampuslauf was held at Liberty Lands Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania yesterday, December 13, 2014.  The event is getting more popular.  A large squad of students helped me carry the items for the display that I made to the grounds so a big thank you to them and a big thank you to Janet for the assistance that she provided before and after the event.

It is very difficult to get good video footage and pictures in the darkness.  I did my best, and captured what I could.

This video features an introduction, some Krampus and Nikolaus memorabilia, the gathering prior to the Parade, part of the Parade itself, a fire dancer and the fire pit:

Here are the photographs.  First, some shots of the display that I put together (I brought a lot more with me compared to previous years including some woodwork from Germany and figurines of Nikolaus and Christkind by Playmobil) ...
