The second annual Carbon County Black Forest Krampusnacht Festival has been changed to 1-6 p.m. Sunday at Pocono Whitewater in Jim Thorpe.

The festival has been postponed from Saturday because of the forecast for inclement weather.

The event, at 1519 Route 903, is being presented by the Carbon Chamber & Economic Development Corp. and St. Luke’s Carbon Campus.

This festival is a Carbon County spin on the Krampusnacht traditions in Germany and Austria.

Krampus is an Alpine monster that punishes naughty children. He is the counterpart of Saint Nicholas.

This event may sound sinister, but it is great fun for the whole family. It is recommended for children 5 and older.

There will be dozens of Krampus roaming the festival and festival goers are encouraged to dress up and join the fun.

Saint Nicholas will bless the festival and lead the Krampuslauft parade through the festival grounds.
