Krampus Carolers
Beware of these songbirds of the night as their carols my lure you into the dark.
The Krampus Carolers can be seen at random stops along the parade route in advance of the parade to entertain you while you wait for Krampus to arrive. Grab a flask of glühwein and and sing along.
Part caroling, part wassailing, the Krampus Carolers set out to entertain in this traditional act of exchanging food and drink for goodwill.
Unlike a parade where there are performers and an audience, Krampus Caroling invites everyone to sing along from stop to stop. Sing if you like or just enjoy the performance, either way you will experience the artistic contrast of peace and goodwill coming from such dark visuals.
Our carolers costume theme is that of the dark birds of prey and of the night. While birds are known for song, certain birds can also represent a mysterious setting. Ravens, Owls, Vultures, all hint to the ideas of mystery and wisdom as well as evil and sorcery. The perfect combination for the Krewe of Krampus.
