The Odditorium Carnival

Come wander a sprawling outdoor and indoor festival marketplace filled with independent creators and collectors offering gothic jewelry, pagan ritual tools, steampunk gadgets, Renaissance leatherwork, occult books and tarot, custom gaming gear, alternative fashion, taxidermy curiosities, horror memorabilia, bespoke costumes, and countless other handmade treasures you won't find anywhere else. (All right. You can find some of these incredibilities at other Markets, but our ambitious assemblage may nevertheless leave you breathless. Or wallet-lighter and happier, which is an odd but splendid combination.)

The fairgrounds will hum with easygoing carnival spirit: curious games, roaming musicians, small-stage performances, storytelling circles, and plenty of space to relax, browse, and connect. Show up exactly as you are, whether that's totally normal clothing, full garb, goggles and gears, leather and patches, or whatever feels right. This is a natural home for goths, pagans, rennies, everyday black, steampunks, cosplayers, gamers, makers, bikers, burners, LARPers, horror fans, occult enthusiasts, and every creative misfit in between. A spring weekend where the unconventional feels like the norm.
