The Krampus Show returns to the space in front of the renovated Industrial Palace in late November. There will be an afternoon parade for families with children, followed after dark by an evening show with fire, drumming and lighting effects.

On Saturday, 21 November 2026, more than 200 Krampuses from the Czech Republic and Austria will perform at Prague’s Výstaviště exhibition grounds. The event is one of the largest of its kind in the Czech Republic and attracts thousands of visitors every year. It returns to the space in front of the renovated Industrial Palace (Průmyslový palác) after several years.

Family parade starts at 4 pm

The grounds open at 3 pm for the ‘Family Show’. The parade starts at 4 pm and runs until 5.30 pm. The Krampuses will give a gentler performance in the afternoon so that younger children can enjoy the parade too. The organisers are inviting children to come in their own Krampus masks or costumes.

Evening show with fire and drumming

Admission to the ‘Night Show’ starts at 7 pm. The evening parade runs from 8 pm to 9.30 pm. Fire and lighting effects, dancers and the Czech drumming group Groove Army will accompany the Krampuses’ performance.

New this year is a VIP area right next to the ‘Gate of Hell’. The groups enter the grounds through this gate at the start and return the same way after the parade. VIP ticket holders can see the Krampuses up close on both occasions.
