DECEMBER EVENTS
WEDNESDAY 5th : Children’s Hour with Krampus, Space Bar Market Sq

WEDNESDAY 11th + THURSDAY 19th : Ghosts of Distillery Row, Strip District
DECEMBER 5th marks the return of Krampus to whom Pittsburgh is no stranger! The feared (and beloved) accomplice to St. Nicholas serves as a reminder to children of all ages to practice the Spirit of Yuletide all year long if you are to be rewarded. If not ~ a different fate awaits!
Join us in the BLACK TENT in front of Space Bar in Market Square for our first ever CHILDREN’S HOUR WITH KRAMPUS: selected readings from Der Struwwelpeter
Krampus will be reading up to 4 German cautionary stories of his choosing every 20 minutes!
All ages are welcome ~ $5 at the Tent Door includes Story Time & Krampus Kandy
Children under 3 admitted FREE
Celebrate the Winter Solstice the old fashioned way ~ with a good drink and a ghost story!
So WHERE is Distillery Row? It's what we named the area from 24th - 30th St on Smallman St in the Strip District. There are currently 3 distilleries, a brewery, and a winery and all of them occupy historical buildings.
Started in 2023 ~ Ghosts of Distillery Row quickly became one of our most popular holiday events!
This is an easy walking tour that runs from 24th to 26th St on Smallman.
Each of our 3 historic venues supplies a signature cocktail as we tell a true tale connected to the location!
We begin at Cadence+ Cellars Speakeasy where we enter into the gated tunnel. (2400 Smallman St)
Our second stop finds us across the street at Wigle Whiskey for another refreshing bevvie and tale of love gone mad.
Our third and final venue is a quick 2 block jaunt to Kingfly Spirits where we become ensconced in the 1907 stable / livery for an amazing nightcap with a side of horror.
All 3 venues are wheelchair accessible!
Must be 21+ to attend
Please dress for the weather as we will be outside but for a moment
If you appear visibly intoxicated upon arrival, we will be unable to allow you to continue without refund so don't blow it!

As festive lights twinkle and winter’s chill sets in, gather ’round for a night of eerie delight! This holiday season, we’re putting a spine-tingling twist on Christmas cheer with
MasterDeceased Theater, Christmas Edition.
Did you know that ghost stories at Christmas time have been a long-standing tradition throughout Europe, especially in Germany? With Zelienople’s rich German heritage, there’s no doubt that yuletide twisted tales once echoed through its streets.
On FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13th ~ Dark History Pgh and The Strand Theater are teaming up to rekindle this haunting tradition with three winter tales as chilling as the December air.
But wait, there’s more! To make your experience even more unforgettable, each ghostly story will be paired with a specially crafted cocktail to match its icy tone. And to make things extra spooky, we’ve created empty rows in the theater, allowing our ghostly hosts to serve you right in your seats.
What’s included with your ticket?
Three bone-chilling ghost stories
Three perfectly paired specialty cocktails
An unforgettable evening of festive frights
Seating is VERY LIMITED, so reserve yours now before they vanish! It would be horrifying if you missed out!
May your days be scary with fright!
