Osbourne, the Giant Satanic Zombie Land Crab I got at last year's festival, has an announcement!

2026 APPLICATIONS ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED, AND 2027 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW LIVE! Go apply! Hurry! (Link below.)

We're still working out a couple of things with Food Truck Row, so we miiiiight have a spot or two open for a food truck in the coming days, but our Macabre Marketplace for artists and vendors is SOLD OUT! Next week, we will turn our waitlist over to First Congregational United Church and Needful Things, so some of you may hear from them with invitations to join their vendor pop-ups that run in tandem with the festival. Both of their properties are adjacent to the museum, so it all just looks like one big party anyway!

If any spaces come open due to last minute cancellations, we will announce those publicly. It's been our experience that the closer the festival gets, the more futile reaching out to vendors who applied several months ago and have since booked other events becomes. So if anything opens up, we will put out a public call in early August for anyone interested in last minute spots.

Lastly- if I've said this once, I've said it a billion times, yet I've still got people blaming me when they get scammed. THE ONLY WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH US IS THROUGH OUR OFFICIAL FACEBOOK PAGE OR EMAIL. DO NOT RESPOND TO PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS OR ON THE EVENT PAGE OFFERING BOOTH SPACE. DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS COMING FROM WEIRD FB ACCOUNTS OR EMAIL ADDRESSES CLAIMING TO BE WORKING ON OUR BEHALF. WE DO NOT HAVE A STAFF, WE HAVE A SINGLE EMAIL ADDRESS AND A SINGLE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT. YES, I'M YELLING BECAUSE WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING. 😂

Oh! One very last thing- if you are a confirmed vendor for this year and have not yet sent photos for us to use with your announcement, please do that ASAP. Send a photo or two via email, with the name of your business as the subject line so that we know who the photos belong to.

See you in a few months!
