Event summary

Highlights

  • Features over 120 specialized vendors

  • Wide range of items including vintage pins, skulls, and fantasy art
  • Annual event held at the Halifax Exhibition Centre
As the largest event of its kind east of Toronto, the show attracts thousands of visitors from across the Maritimes. The fair serves as a specialized marketplace for items typically absent from traditional craft markets, such as animal skulls, magic lantern slides, and dark-themed artistic woodcraft. It functions as both a commercial hub and a community gathering for enthusiasts of fantasy and the macabre.

Founded by Brandon Matheson, the event emphasizes a family-friendly atmosphere where children and adults can explore unique historical and artistic curios. The 2026 edition featured a significant increase in vendor participation compared to previous years, showcasing work from regional artists who specialize in horror and fantasy aesthetics.
