Krampus Festival: Austria’s Wild Holiday Tradition

Forget elves—Austria just kicked off the holidays with the Krampus Festival, where people dress up as terrifying goat monsters and chase folks through the streets! It’s part of Krampuslauf, a centuries-old tradition where the naughty get swatted and the nice get gifts from St. Nick. The costumes are next-level creepy, and the party is wild—think music, fireworks, and rowdy crowds. Would you dare to join the madness or stick to Christmas markets? #Culture #KrampusFestival #Austria
