About Krampus Flea Market
The world of the Krampus comes to Bronzolo
Every year in late September, the Kulturhaus in Bronzolo (Branzoll), located in the Bassa Atesina area near Bolzano, becomes a hub for Alpine folklore enthusiasts. The Krampus Flea Market and Mask Exhibition is a weekend entirely dedicated to the demonic figures that, according to Alpine tradition, accompany Saint Nicholas during the Advent season. The event is organized by the Göllerspitz Tuifl, the local Krampus group from Bronzolo, and has grown over the years to become a key regional appointment.
Mask exhibition and live woodcarving
The heart of the event is the mask exhibition: over twenty Krampus associations from South Tyrol and surrounding areas showcase their creations, ranging from grotesque features to massive, intricately carved horns. Alongside the display, various woodcarvers work live, shaping traditional wooden masks and allowing visitors to witness a craft passed down through generations.
The flea market
The exhibition is complemented by a themed flea market, featuring stalls filled with objects, accessories, clothing, and curiosities related to the world of the Krampus and folk traditions. It is the perfect opportunity to discover details, cowbells, chains, and other costume elements that make each group recognizable during the winter parades.
Music and Frühschoppen
On Sunday morning, the Kulturhaus hosts the traditional Frühschoppen, the typical South Tyrolean morning social, roughly from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Various bands and DJs provide entertainment throughout the two days, ensuring a convivial atmosphere, with local gastronomic specialties completing the experience.
A free event for everyone
Admission is free, making the event suitable for families, curious visitors, and enthusiasts alike. The Mask Exhibition and Krampus Flea Market offer an authentic way to connect with the culture of the South Tyrolean Tuifl before the start of the parade season, which enlivens towns and cities across the Trentino-Alto Adige region between late November and December for the feast of Saint Nicholas.
