Dachsland Krampuslauf

media release: The Dachsland Krampuslauf (Badgerland Krampus Run) third annual parade will be Madison on Saturday December 7th, 2024. The kick off is at 5 pm on Library Mall. This parade will head up State Street to the Capitol Square and then over to Essen Haus.

Meet outside between Memorial Library and the University Book Store, which is at 711 State Street, Madison. There will be some light entertainment leading up to 5 pm.

The core: St. Nick and a retinue of musicians, followed by Krampuses and other Alpine winter folklore figures will "run" up State Street to the Capitol Square. While you can wait for us along the way, everyone is encouraged to join in! There will be the potential for photo ops.

We recommend doing some quick research to determine if this would be appropriate for your own children. There are plenty of videos on the internet that will give you a feel for the event.
