Parts of Europe celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas throughout Dec. 6. But on the night before, St. Nick's devilish companion Krampus, who's included in the ancient folklore of Europe's Alpine region, is also commemorated.

To honor the tradition, Jug & Bottle Dept. in Seminole Heights plans to host its own Krampusnacht celebration from 2 to 7 p.m. Dec. 5. Krampus will be on site for free Santa-inspired pictures during the inaugural holiday hurrah.

In addition to the photos, Krampusnacht will reward guests with food and drink rather than punish them: The Hip Lion's carbonated cold-brew coffee, hand-cut pommes from Fries Above, a wine tasting, and German-style sauerkraut and brats will all be featured.

Check out Jug & Bottle's Facebook event for updates as the date gets closer.
