About this Event
THE TENTS RISE. THE TABLES FILL. AND FROM THE DARKEST CORNERS OF THE CREATIVE UNDERWORLD, SOMETHING SINISTER TAKES SHAPE...
SINISTER POP UP MARKET HAS ARRIVED.
Not merely a vendor market, but a gathering place for the beautifully strange. A curated collision of horror, Halloween, dark art, oddities, alternative culture, & the wonderfully unhinged minds who create it all.
Crafters. Collectors. Designers. Creature creators. Oddity dealers. Horror merchants. Independent brands. And imaginative misfits turning their darkest ideas into things you can actually take home.
Unearth original artwork, handmade goods, horror collectibles, creepy curiosities, strange decor, apparel, accessories, monsters, mutations, and things that probably should not have followed you home.
Meet the people behind the work. Support independent creators. Find something nobody else owns. This is not mass produced monotony stacked beneath fluorescent lights. This is the strange, the handmade, the unexpected, and the gloriously unnecessary.
Celebrate the weird. Support the sinister.
Additionally, enjoy a full day of carefully curated feature films inside the historic colonial theatre with the sinister film festival.
Welcome to Sinister Pop Up Market.
