Krampus Ball 2025

The Mediator Fellowship 50 Rounds Avenue, Providence, RI, United States

Jeff Belanger will be at the ball selling and signing his Fright Before Christmas Book, and offer a dramatic reading of his poem of the same name. The Black Sabbath cover band Green Sabbath will be playing live. We'll have merchandise, vendors, refreshments, BYOB, a costume contest, and more. Be a holiday monster, witch, zombie Santa, or whatever pleases your dark heart. This is a 21-plus event, and tickets are already selling. We always need paper towels, blankets, or cat/dog food for the Faxon Animal Shelter in Fall River, and we always have a bin for Toys for Tots. 2025 has been a hard year, and I'm looking forward to this event very much. A small group of dedicated lunatics spent endless hours putting this event together. We hope to see you there.
