Krumlov Advent also has its darker side, embodied by the traditional Krampuslauf. On Friday, December 4, a procession of demonic creatures with horns, chains, and bells—known as Krampus—will take place. Come to Port 1560 at 18:00 to see dozens of infernal masks; a total of 7 Krampus troupes from the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany will perform. The spooky evening will be hosted by DJ and presenter Petr Šlosek.
