Milwaukee Krampusnacht Packer-Polka Party

Sunday, December 7, noon

Milwaukee Brewery District

What goes with a good Packer game? If you said a horned, goat-like, Alpine friend to St. Nicholas, you’d be correct.

Milwaukee’s 8th annual Krampusnacht is back with Wisconsin’s liveliest winter parade, live music, vendors and more at the Pabst Best Place.

This year, we’re planning to lean into the Sunday Packers vs. Bears game schedule with a combo football-polka party starting at noon. DJ Shotski will spin vintage polka records during commercial breaks and host a half-time dance before Krampusnacht doors open at 3 p.m.

Best. Pregame. Ever.

Find details on the festival’s website.
