Intercultural Corner: the Austrian Krampus Festival
Hello, everyone! Welcome to Intercultural Corner! I am your friend Lem. Today, we are talking about a unique and exciting festival in Austria. Have you heard of the Krampus Parade? It is a special event that happens in December, and it is both fun and a little scary. Let me tell you all about it!
The Krampus Parade is part of an old tradition in Austria. Krampus is a scary character from a Christmas story. He has horns, wears a fur coat, and carries big chains or sticks. Krampus is said to visit children who were naughty during the year.
In the parade, people dress up as Krampus. They wear scary masks, costumes, and make loud noises with bells and chains. They walk through the streets, pretending to scare people. But don’t worry—it’s all for fun!
The Krampus Parade is held in many towns in Austria. Families and friends go to watch it. The parade is full of music, laughter, and excitement. It’s a way to celebrate Christmas with a mix of fun and tradition.
The Krampus Parade is a unique part of Austria’s culture. It shows how old stories can bring people together to celebrate in a fun way. If you ever visit Austria in December, don’t miss it! Thank you for listening, and see you next time for Intercultural Corner!
