6th Krampus Parade in Natz

Saturday, December 12, 2026 | From 6:00 PM

When bells rattle, flames blaze and terrifying figures roam the streets, all hell breaks loose in Natz once again! During the traditional Krampus parade organised by the Oachna Krampusse VFG, the village transforms into a spectacular stage for one of South Tyrol's most impressive Krampus parades.

Every four years, on the second Saturday in December, over 600 Krampus from South Tyrol and across the Alpine region gather in Natz. With intricately carved masks, elaborate fur costumes, enormous horns and rattling chains, they create spine-chilling moments and an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. Breathtaking performances, spectacular fire effects and eerie sounds make the Krampus parade a truly special highlight of the pre-Christmas event calendar.

Tradition, thrills and great entertainment take centre stage. In 2026, visitors can look forward to a new event concept designed to offer an impressive experience for Krampus fans of all ages. To ensure the safety of all visitors and participants, the parade will take place in a specially designated and secured area.

And the excitement doesn't end there: after the parade, the celebrations continue at the Krampus Party in the party tent, where everyone can come together and enjoy the devilishly good atmosphere.

An evening filled with tradition, adrenaline and spectacular sights – the 6th Krampus Parade in Natz is an event not to be missed!
