About this Event
The Merry Krampus brings a wickedly fun twist to the season, celebrating the eerie folklore of Krampusnacht while supporting local artists and small businesses. Browse from over 50 makers offering one-of-a-kind, handcrafted gifts—perfect for those who embrace both the naughty and the nice.
Capture unforgettable memories with family photos alongside Krampus and Santa Claus, who’ve set aside their rivalry for a day of festive (and slightly spooky) fun. Beyond the gifts and photo ops, The Merry Krampus proudly partners with Colony Cats and Dogs—because even the most mischievous creatures deserve love and care.
Join us for a spirited celebration filled with holiday magic, mischief, and a commitment to shopping local. 'Tis the season for sleigh bells… and chains.
DON'T FORGET! After The Merry Krampus market, join the Krampus Krawl with Columbus Ghost Tours' Bucky leading us through the darkest taverns in Columbus. Don your most monstrous attire and get ready for a night of wicked revelry. Leave the carols and cookies behind—this is true holiday mischief. See you there!
