Krampusfest 2024

  • Google Calendar ICS

In the Alpine regions of Europe, St. Nicholas Day is always preceded by an evening for Krampus the Christmas Demon to pass judgment upon the naughty list in an evening of revelry. This holiday season, Krampus is headed to Orlando. An annual event, Krampusfest will bring the alpine spirit to The Milk District on December 8, 2024. A one-day/night-only extravaganza! The event will include live music from Bad Santa & The Angry Elves and other acts, professional photo opportunities with Krampus, culinary bites from local vendors, locally crafted beer, several full bars, the crowd favorite Krampuslauf (parade), and finally, the Krampusfest costume contest to complete the evening. Patrons, vendors, and participants are encouraged to dress up as Krampus or other characters. Presented by The Plaza Live and Von Payne Whiskey. Biergarten from Sideward Brewing.

Rockin' Robinson

This block party concert will feature some of the best live music in Central Florida, with bands announced later this month. The Milk District Main Street Program, this signature annual event and fundraiser with all proceeds brings together the community to celebrate all that makes the district great.

 In addition to bands across two outdoor stages, the event will feature artisan vendors, food trucks, live art, and more. 

Rockin' Robinson, last hosted in late February 2020, was one of the last big events for many people before covid-related lockdowns began. After hearing stories of how important this event became to people and wanting to include more of the community in the event, The Milk District is offering this year's festival as a free event, welcoming everyone everyone within Central Florida to enjoy the event at no charge.
