Krampusnacht Bremerton 2026

Step into the shadows and serve the hordes.

Krampusnacht Bremerton is a high energy winter festival celebrating Alpine folklore, dark tradition, and community revelry. Held on December 6th, this event draws a large, engaged crowd of attendees who come for the spectalce, fire performers, costumed Krampus, parade and an immersive night market experience.

 

We are seeking and mobile food vendors to help fuel the chaos.

 

This is not your average market crowd, our attendees stay, explore and indulge. Vendors can excpect strong foot traffic. All of the surrounding resteraunts have reported their highest sales day of the year during our festival. Many sell out before the night is over. 

 

What We're Looking For:

• High quality, efficient service capable of handling peak rushes.
• Unique, crowd pleasing menus (bonus for Krampus themed items)
• Professional setup with proper permits and licensing
• Vendors prepared for evening/night operations

Event Highlights

• Attendance over 15,000 patrons
• Parade and performance driven crowd flow
• Dedicated Vendor areas integrated into the festival experience
• Strong community support and returning attendees

Krampusnacht is more than an event it's an experience. We are building a curated lineup of food vendors who can keep up with the energy and contribute to the atmosphere.

 

If you're ready to serve the wicked, the wild and the winter hungry we want you!

Krampusnacht Bremerton is one of the largest and most recognized Krampus celebrations in the United States, transforming downtown Bremerton into a winter spectacle of folklore, performance, and community. Thousands of attendees gather each year to experience costumed performers bringing Krampus tradition to life through movement, interaction, and atmosphere. Performers are the soul of the event, shaping the energy of the night and creating unforgettable moments that define the festival.

 

This fully permitted, outdoor public event welcomes experienced Krampus performers and costumed participants who are comfortable engaging a diverse audience that includes adults, families, and children. Performers are encouraged to roam, pose for photos, and interact in character while maintaining awareness, consent, and respect for boundaries. The goal is bold theatrical presence balanced with professionalism, ensuring interactions are thrilling, playful, and welcoming rather than aggressive or intimidating.

 

Krampusnacht Bremerton operates with professional security, trained volunteers, and coordination with the City of Bremerton. Performers are expected to follow all event rules and instructions, remain mindful of safety and costume limitations, and contribute to a cooperative, respectful environment. Participation is subject to approval, and performers should expect photography and filming throughout the event as part of the festival’s promotion and documentation. If you’re passionate about Krampus culture and public performance, we’re excited to welcome you into the chaos.
