Philadelphia Brewing Co. is gearing up for a spooktacular celebration this holiday season as it partners with the East Kensington Arts Committee to host Haunted Christmas on December 13th.
From noon until 7 p.m., the venue will transform into a winter wonderland of weird and wonderful delights, featuring an array of vendors, performances, and events that defy traditional notions of the festive season. For one day only, the usually tranquil East Kensington neighborhood will become a hotbed of quirky entertainment, courtesy of Philly's very own Krampus.
The half-goat, half-demon creature will make appearances throughout the afternoon, bringing its own brand of mischief to the proceedings through roaming interactions and photo opportunities. In between Krampus sightings, audiences can indulge in some authentic Slavic folk music performances by Sing Slavic, a group of women, trans, and nonbinary singers who share traditions from Ukraine, Bulgaria, Poland, and Russia.
In the afternoon, The Ghosts of Gingerband Past will treat attendees to a haunting blend of festive tunes and theatrical flair, backed up by a talented ensemble of musicians. Meanwhile, Screwball Screenings will showcase an eclectic mix of oddball films alongside work from local artists, providing a platform for creative experimentation and discovery.
As night begins to fall, the festivities will culminate in "Krampus Gets Cramped," a PG-13 shadow puppet show that injects retro rock vibes into the proceedings. For one enchanting evening, Philly's residents are invited to abandon their holiday worries and immerse themselves in a strange and spirited twist on the festive season – all for free.
Haunted Christmas takes place at Philadelphia Brewing Co., 2440 Frankford Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125 on Saturday, December 13th from noon until 7 p.m.

️ i mean who needs presents when you got half-goat, half-demon to terrorize u? but seriously phillies know how to party and this haunted christmas event sounds like an absolute blast 
. the idea of slavic folk music performances alongside krampus sightings is giving me life 
i'm definitely down for some spooky tunes and weird vibes on dec 13th 
can't wait for "krampus gets cramped" 
I'm literally obsessed with Krampus right now! like who wouldn't want to hang out with a half-goat demon creature? 
and the Screwbball screenings sound like an absolute dream come true - who wouldn't want to watch weird films alongside art from local artists? 
this is literally the most unique holiday event I've ever heard of and I am HERE. FOR. IT 
this Haunted Christmas event sounds like so much fun! I'm intrigued by the Krampus character and the weird winter wonderland vibe 
It's interesting that they're combining traditional holiday music with Slavic folk tunes to create a unique atmosphere 
! I'm all about celebrating the weird and wonderful side of life during the holidays! It's awesome that Philly Brewing Co is teaming up with the East Kensington Arts Committee to bring this unique party to the neighborhood 
. The idea of Krampus making appearances throughout the day sounds hilarious 
to the event. I'm also stoked about the Screwball Screenings and the shadow puppet show – it's going to be a night to remember! 
For one day only, you can let loose and have a blast without worrying about a thing 
And the fact that they're charging nothing for it is kinda cheapening the whole experience. What if they actually spent some cash on decorations and food instead of just slapping up some random vendors and performers? It'll be super crowded and uncomfortable, I bet.
i've been to philly brewing co before and it's always a vibe, but this event sounds straight fire! the music performances sound so cool too 
The idea of an artsy fest in East Kensington is genius, can't wait to check it out! 
It's like Philly's getting its own quirky holiday vibe on, and I'm here for it 
. and screwball screenings sounds like a total dream come true for film enthusiasts 
. also, shadow puppet show? retro rock vibes?! can't wait to experience it all... totally free too! December 13th is basically my new favorite date 
it's like the ultimate festive bop 
gotta get me some Krampus sightings 
and Slavic folk music vibes 
can't wait for it! 
. Plus, it's all for free, so you can't go wrong 
. I'm definitely gonna try to make it out there on Dec 13th... or whenever my sanity decides to take a break from the holiday chaos 
). It's awesome to see Philly embracing its quirks and having a laugh with it. Can't wait to check this thing out!
meanwhile, screwball screenings will show some super weird films lol & the shadow puppet show is gonna be SO lit 
. On the other hand, I love the sound of those Slavic folk music performances – that stuff is so cool 
.
