the most spookiest time of the year
What is Creepmas?
The Creepmas Parade is an annual outdoor costume parade that takes place in early December in Duluth. The Creepmas Parade mission is to provide the community with an annual event where participants can learn about folklore, while admiring traditions and creating new memories.
The parade is inspired by Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night, which is a traditional European celebration. It involves people dressing up as Krampus, a half-goat, half-demon figure, and participating in parades and festivities. Learn more.
