What you need to know
- Close enough to touch, and the groups happily stop to pose for photos
- Up to 50,000 spectators, so come early if your kid wants the front row
- A long route through the Old Town, from Augustinerstraße to the Old Town Hall, so there's more than one spot to watch from
About
Around 300 Krampus and Perchten in shaggy fur and hand-carved wooden masks rattle, clang and roar through the Old Town's Christmas market streets. The groups come from across the Alps, keeping a 500-year-old tradition alive. The figures play with the crowd, snatch a hat and hand it back, and stop for selfies. Fun for kids who like a good scare; not for a child afraid of masks.
Where it is
Frauenplatz (parade start)
Frauenplatz, 80331 München
