ABOUT BLACK CAT BAZAAR

Black Cat Bazaar is a curated, juried outdoor artisan market celebrating the strange and unusual. We feature independent artists, makers, collectors, vintage curators, authors, and creators whose work embraces gothic, macabre, witchcraft, Halloween, horror, dark academia, and oddities.

This is not a traditional craft fair.

Visitors can expect original artwork, handmade goods, vintage finds, oddities, taxidermy, artists, authors, tarot and palm readers, a tattoo artist, live entertainment, food and drinks, and other experiences that fit the overall event aesthetic.

VENDOR SELECTION

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Previous participation does not guarantee acceptance. Every application is reviewed each year from scratch. Selection is based on originality, craftsmanship, booth presentation, product quality, overall fit with the event, and creating a balanced variety of vendors.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Original artwork, handmade goods, handmade jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, fiber arts, woodworking, leatherwork, handmade clothing, printmaking, original books, artist-created tarot or oracle decks, curated vintage, antique curiosities, gothic décor, Halloween collectibles, oddities, taxidermy, entomology, macabre artwork, witchcraft-inspired artwork, horror, dark academia, cemetery & funeral art, cryptids, and other original creations that fit the event aesthetic.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT

AI-generated artwork, products or branding; MLM/direct sales; mass-produced merchandise; dropshipped products; copyright or trademark infringement; commercially produced metaphysical products purchased for resale; general retail gift shop merchandise; or products that do not fit the overall event aesthetic.
