Spooky and Festive Fun at Haunted Christmas in Philadelphia's Kensington Neighborhood
On December 13th, Philadelphia Brewing Co. will transform into a festive and eerie celebration as East Kensington Arts Committee teams up with the brewery to host 'Haunted Christmas'. The event promises an unforgettable experience from noon to 7 p.m., featuring an eclectic mix of vendors, performances, and quirky holiday programming.
Get ready to mingle with Philly's Krampus from noon to 4 p.m. as this folklore-inspired character comes alive through roaming interactions and photo opportunities. To add a touch of Slavic culture, Sing Slavic will perform a captivating set of folk music between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m., celebrating the traditions of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Poland, and Russia.
Festive music meets theatrical flair as The Ghosts of Gingerband Past take to the stage from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Their pop-up set blends catchy melodies with spooky theatrics, featuring vocalist Kate Black-Regan, jazz guitarist Brian Decker, accordionist and flutist Dorie Byrne, bassist Sheila McNally, and percussionist Matt Jastremski.
Oddball films will be screened alongside local art at 4 p.m., followed by a PG-13 shadow puppet show called "Krampus Gets Cramped" from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. This bizarre blend of crankies, music, and retro rock influences promises an unforgettable conclusion to the event.
The free-to-attend Haunted Christmas takes place at Philadelphia Brewing Co. in East Kensington, inviting guests to shop local, enjoy a strange twist on the holiday season, and experience a unique fusion of spooky and festive fun.

i think its so cool that they're doing this haunted christmas thingy in philly! i mean, who doesn't love krampus? 
i feel bad for him being just a folklore character but at the same time its awesome that people are making him his own event. i also like how its bringing together different cultures through slavic music and art. and can you believe the ghost band is even performing?! 
their set sounds so lit! I'm def gonna check it out, cant wait for that pop-up concert 
️ I'm so stoked for this event! It sounds like such a blast - I mean, Krampus at noon? That's just too cool 
. And a live performance by Sing Slavic? Their music is all about blending old traditions with new vibes, which I think would be awesome to see in person 
. Can't wait to check out the oddball films and shadow puppet show at 5:30 pm - that sounds like a trip down memory lane... if my memories didn't get lost in time travel paradoxes, that is 
. Philly Brewing Co. always knows how to put on a show!
It sounds like they're gonna have a blast from noon till 7 pm, with all sorts of weird and wonderful activities. And, omigosh, the music lineup is so cool! I love when pop-punk meets spooky theatrics - it's like the perfect combo for this time of year 
. My fave part, though? The PG-13 shadow puppet show called "Krampus Gets Cramped" at 5:30 pm. I'm gonna have to check that out 
!
️! i'm loving the mix of vendors, performances, and quirky stuff... krampus is such an awesome character 
and that pop-up set by The Ghosts of Gingerband Past sounds hella spooky but in a good way 
can't wait for dec 13th!
I'm literally SO stoked about Haunted Christmas in Philly!!! 
East Kensington is gonna be transformed into this amazing spooky fest with vendors, live music, and quirky stuff 
! And, omigosh, the Krampus vibes are gonna be EVERYTHING 
! The Ghosts of Gingerband Past sound soooo cool too 
Can't wait to grab my fave holiday sweater and hit up the event with my squad 
I mean who doesn't love some Krampus shenanigans?! 
they need to bring some spooktacular vibes over here 
i heard krampus is a big deal in europe too? 
But at the same time, I'm also thinkin' about the logistics – all that stuff can get pretty crowded and messy, you know? 
And what's up with the PG-13 shadow puppet show? Is it gonna be too much for the little ones? 
I gotta say, this whole Haunted Christmas thing sounds like just another excuse for people to go out and get weirdly drunk in Philly. Like, what's next? A "Haunted Halloween" or "Spooky Summer Funday"? And Krampus is just a glorified grinch, if you ask me... 
gotta see how krampus gets cramped 
I need more info on this one before I can get excited about it... and how do we know all this won't just be some marketing gimmick? 
december 13th is gonna be lit! they got all sorts of vendors, performances, and weird holiday programming - krampus vibes from noon to 4 pm? yes please! 
it's awesome they got different vendors, performances, and activities for all ages... krampus is a great addition i love how they incorporated slavic culture into the event too! 
, who wouldn't want to see a shadow puppet show called "Krampus Gets Cramped"
