Registration

This year we have three locations where you can check in with your ticket and get a wristband. Print or pull up your ticket on your phone (if you lost it, we can look it up) and check in at either Pilot Project, Barley Room (where our two indoor vendor floors are located) or Best Place’s Great Hall (which is where we have live music).

If you got a ticket for Kid’s Krampus, Chad Lewis or Al Ridenour presentations, you will be on a check in list at Blue Ribbon Hall. Same with Santa Claus Conquers the Martians screening– you’ll be on the list at No Studios.
If you didn’t get tickets to those special activities, we do still have some left: Tickets & Accommodations – Milwaukee Krampusnacht 2023: Sunday Dec. 3!

Event Flow
This event is designed to have you walk around and check stuff out. Hear a ghost story or live music at No Studios, dance with Goth Barge at On Tap and check out the outdoor market on 10th St., sing karaoke and check out our model house contest at Amped, enjoy music, entertainment and the Saint Nick Speakeasy at Best Place, shop our vendor floors at Barley Room and Pilot Project. See map and schedule attached.

Merch/ Raffle
If you pre-ordered merch from us, you can pick that up at our booth right by the registration table at Barley Room. We have t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, buttons and magnets, posters, Krampus horn knit hats and more. We also are raffling off six baskets with items from our wonderful vendors and you can buy raffle tickets at all 3 registration tables.
You can see a list of all our vendors here: 2023 Vendors – Milwaukee Krampusnacht 2023: Sunday Dec. 3!

Food/Drink
We worked hard this year to get adequate food options. You can find food/drink at Best Place, Pilot Project, Barley Room, Amped, and On Tap. No Studio’s cafe/ bar is also open and we have a few food trucks out on 10th St, so bring an appetite! Lots of great drink specials throughout and Pilot Project is selling six-packs of a special Biere de Krampus they made for us!
See details on food/drink options here: Cheers! Food and Drink – Milwaukee Krampusnacht 2023: Sunday Dec. 3!

Parade
The American Ghost Walks Krampus Parade is at 7pm sharp, marching on Juneau Avenue from 9th to 11th and back down. Please stay out of the street. Some of our performers have limited visibility and they put a lot of work and money into their costumes, so cheer them on but don’t mess with them and keep an eye on your kids so they don’t grab at them. It’s going to be our biggest one yet!

Weather
We are seeing a forecast of on-and-off drizzly rain in the afternoon, hopefully it clears up. The show goes on. Dress appropriately. There’s plenty of indoor space but like we said it’s designed for you to walk from venue to venue. 
Update: GOOD NEWS! Most forecasts predict rain will be done by 3, right when the event starts. Magnificent!

Have Fun
Last year, the Brewery District businesses complimented us on what a nice, fun crowd we had. Be good to each other– if you see someone lost and you know the way, tell them, lend a helping hand if you can. If it’s crowded, be patient. This event is not organized by a big production company, just a growing group of people that wants to have a helluva good time. We look forward to seeing you there!
