Krampus is an evil and horned, black-furred Christmas creature that gives naughty German children coal (and, in some versions of the story, carries particularly bad Kinder into the woods). Several Krampuses visit the Germania Societys Christkindlmarkt, a recreation of an authentic Bavarian-style Christmas market at Germania Park, to teach but not terrify kids every year. While there, check out the rest of the market, where youll find German music, German music, German food (dill pickle soup, spiced gluhwein, strudels, cream puffs, etc.) and imported German gifts.
