The Krampusnacht festival features traditions such as costumed figures portraying Krampus, a horned creature who punishes misbehaving children. Parades and processions with elaborate masks and bells are common, creating a festive yet eerie atmosphere. This night, celebrated on December 5th, includes folklore elements that emphasize the duality of good and evil, contrasting with the more benevolent figure of Saint Nicholas. Communities often engage in revelry and merriment, making it a lively cultural celebration.
