\ud83d\udd14 September Krampus Social \u2014 This Friday! \ud83d\udd14<\/p>\n
Some of the faces you'll get to see up close this Friday. This is just a portion of our members' masks from our Labor Day photoshoot, and we currently stand at 13 Krampus, St Nikolaus, our Korbltrager, our Frau Perchta, and 2 Angels strong!<\/p>\n
Join us at the German-American Society Friendship of Pinellas County, Bierstube (front building). Doors open at 6:30, kicks off officially at 7 PM.<\/p>\n
We'll have some of our costumes and several masks on display in person, so come see the craftsmanship up close.<\/p>\n
On the agenda:
\n\ud83c\udfad Costume making talk
\n\ud83c\udf89 Krampusnacht 2026 details
\n\ud83d\udcc5 A look at our upcoming events this season
\n\ud83c\udfe8 Updates on the Krampus America Convention we're hosting in St. Pete this February<\/p>\n
And fingers crossed, we may be unveiling a brand new Stefan Koidl (The Art of Stefan Koidl) mask, as long as customs cooperates and doesn't hold up the shipment! \ud83e\udd1e<\/p>\n
Curious how someone ends up in a mask like these? Volunteering with the club is the pipeline to becoming a performer. It lets you get involved, learn the ropes, and work toward a costume without taking on the full cost of a custom mask and suit right away. Come ask us how to get started!<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf7a Welton Brewing Co & Oyster Bar will be open, with some tasty new additions to their menu worth trying. We'll also have our own bartender set up right in the meeting so the drinks keep flowing all night.<\/p>\n
This meeting is free and open to the public. Come hang out, ask questions, and see what KVP is all about!<\/p>\n
