We invite you to join us at the 3rd annual Dark X-mas Market as we embark on another fabulous year of a free artist market and The Wild Hunt of Vista Krampus Procession. Brought to you by Twisted Heart Puppetworks, Backfence Society, Vista Art Foundation, and Pythoness Fox Creations! Let us know you are coming at the Eventbrite link down below!
Join us in all the spooky Yuletide revelry that only this unique market can bring!
The Dark X-mas Market of Vista offers a uniquely European-inspired Christmas experience for North San Diego County residents seeking something different for their holiday celebrations. Hosted by the non-profit Backfence Society in partnership with Twisted Heart Puppetworks and the Vista Art Foundation, this event transforms the Backfence Society location on S. Citrus into a vibrant European holiday market for one night in early December.
The market brims with a diverse array of artisans, featuring everything from traditional holiday crafts to the delightfully eccentric. Emphasizing inclusivity, the event encourages attendees to support local artists and avoid the usual mall and online shopping. Expect to find Norse Viking-inspired ornaments, vintage holiday art, hand-poured herbal candles, locally crafted wood-burned décor, and a variety of gothic-themed gifts.
As you stroll through the market, enjoy festive treats and spiced cider from local Mead and Cidery, Twisted Horn. The market also offers cultural enrichment with activities like Welsh Morris Dancing, Belly Dancing, a German stein-holding competition, traveling minstrels, and THIS YEAR; an authentic traveling court jester! The evening culminates in The Wild Hunt of Vista, a dynamic European inspired procession featuring cosplayers in costumes ranging from traditional Bavarian Krampus to the Italian La Befana and sparkling winter fairy queens! Everyone is welcome to join in, with informational pamphlets provided to enhance cultural understanding.
This market is a refreshing alternative to conventional holiday events, celebrating unique traditions all over the world and fostering cultural exchange in a fun and engaging setting! Family friendly and FREE!
