We are also accepting donations of wet and dry (unopened) cat food and monetary donations above and beyond the toll that is exacted by KRAMPUS.

Availability is limited, but you are welcome to enjoy the market as you wait for KRAMPUS to arrive at 7.PM, and after your have gotten your likeness captured . After the 40 Polaroids are gone, KRAMPUS will escape into the night. Join us Friday Dec 5th!

Mark your calendars! Krampus is coming back for photos.

Pets are welcome but must be held or on a leash. Photos are by pay-what-you-can.

This year, we're going to have a number system so you don't have to wait in line or panic. When you show up, you'll grab a number like at a butcher shop and we'll call you when you're up.

Look forward to seeing you!
