Anybody like to take a shot at translation?

Google Translate manages to make it understandable (kinda), but would anyone like to take a stab at a more natural-sounding translation?

Der Krampus Tag im Europark ist alljährlich ein Erlebnis. Am Nachmittag kommen die Kinderkrampusse der Radecker Pass, um das Brauchtum kennen zu lernen und die Panik vor den pelzigen Gesellen abzubauen. Auch den Nikolaus haben sie dabei, der Geschenke verteilt. Wenn es draußen dunkel wird, zieht es die Krampusse ins Freie und da dürfen dann die Großen raus. Und wer die Kramperl fordert, der bekommt ihren Schweif zu spüren.


and, Google's take on it, including the mangled "Europark" and "Radecker Pass" ...
The Krampus Day in the Park € is an annual experience. In the afternoon come Kinderkrampusse Radecker the passport to get to know the customs and reduce the panic before the furry companions. Even while they have the Santa Claus who handed out gifts. When it is dark outside, it pulls out into the open and the Krampus as may be the big ones. And who calls the Kramperl who gets to feel her tail.


It's from this YouTube video, FYI:

This is taking a few liberties:

Krampus day at the Europark is an annual experience that's not to be missed. In the afternoon, the Krampus kids of the Radecker Pass gather to learn about the [Krampus] tradition and release their fear of the furry fellows. St. Nick is there, too, distributing presents. When it gets dark, the Krampusse venture outside, and the grown-ups come out. And those who tease the Kramperl [=Krampusse] will feel the sting of their tails.

The tails, BTW, are wielded horse or cow tails with handles. :) And the Radecker Pass appears to be a Krampus group.

Thank you :)

I've seen the Radecker Pass group referred to before, but I didn't click to "sting of their tails" being the scourges they carry.
