Krewe of Krampus

Krewe of Krampus Come to New Orleans to see the largest Krampus Parade in the United States. This December Krampus is coming to town and he plans to stay! Nicholas.

Over the last few years this age-old Alpine tradition has been spreading across the United States. While well known in many communities with strong German, Austrian, and Northern Italian ties, Krampus is now hitting mainstream American culture. There was even a feature film out last year that brought the legend to life in a rather horrifying way. Even if the movie had a unique interpretation of th

is legendary character, it was still clear that Krampus has arrived here. For those just learning about this legend, Krampus is a frightening, goat-like beast that travels with St. His job is to punish the naughty boys and girls while St. Nicholas deals with the nice ones. It’s not a surprise that with so many people here in New Orleans who are naughty or mischievous that Krampus would pay the city a visit. Actually, with Krampus it’s more than likely that he will just decide to call New Orleans home. Join us as we all welcome Krampus to New Orleans since its unlikely he has any plans of going away any time soon. The Krewe of Krampus is a Krewe for enthusiasts of the legend, anyone that loves the holiday season, or people that love the idea of a legendary figure just for the naughty folks. Plus who doesn’t love a reason to celebrate in New Orleans?

What to Wear to Island of Misfits Neighborhood Bar Crawl: Part 3

Be Yourself
The Island of Misfits is about creative expression. The artist, the musician, the maker, the performer, the collector of oddities, and everyone who's ever felt a little out of place. This is one of those rare events where being yourself is exactly the point.

Wear something that feels like you. A favorite hat. A handmade piece. Something weird. Something wonderful.

Saturday Noon Start Pepp's Pub

What to Wear to Island of Misfits Neighborhood Bar Crawl: Part 2

Alpine Luau Vibe
Who says you have to choose between the mountains and the islands?

One of our favorite looks is the Alpine Luau mashup. Think tropical shirts paired with lederhosen, flower leis with alpine hats, hiking socks with sandals, faux fur with beachwear or anything else that feels like it shouldn't work but somehow does.

The Island of Misfits is all about creative expression and some of the best outfits come from combining two worlds that were never meant to meet.

Need inspiration? Here are a few photos from past Alpine Luau gatherings.

No costume required. Just bring your imagination.

Saturday - June 6 - Noon Start at Pepp's Pub
