🕯️🍂 SOMETHING WICKED IS FINDING ITS WAY TO MERCER COUNTY, NJ THIS SEPTEMBER 🍂🕯️

Not by accident.
Not with permission.
Not because the ground suddenly opened to the Hellmouth... welcoming us like its children.

Some things have a way of blossoming just when the sun sets, when you feel the autumnal chill drape itself over the evening, when the lights flicker, when the shadows start to fall and the evils we pretend don’t exist, lurk... waiting.

Mercer County, New Jersey has always had the strange ones. The haunted hearts. The artists in the shadows. The collectors of odd things. The beautifully broken. The believers. The misfits. The night creatures… and everyone who knows the weird never really left.

You’ve all been waiting on our call... and it’s about to sound. This September in Mercer County, NJ. The night sky will be set ablaze as Darkside Art and Oddities Market rises once again.

More Dreadful details are forthcoming.

🔐 the 🚪 if you like… Darkside Art & Oddities Market is coming for you either way.

🕯️ THE DARKSIDE ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE HAS BEEN SUMMONED. 🕯️

The full Darkside entertainment lineup has been revealed… and it’s equal parts ritual, spectacle, sweat, and screams. This isn’t background noise. This is performance meant to possess the room.

The full roster of sinister stage acts, including exact performance times are listed below. Study the schedule, plan your descent, and then go deeper at http://www.darksidenj.com/live-entertainment for full details and performer intel.

🔮 Diiiotima Arts (4:30pm & 7:50pm)
Haunting, ritual-soaked works pulled straight from the forbidden archive. Dark symbolism, occult influence, and meticulous craft collide in pieces that feel alive. This is art you feel in your chest, not something you casually scroll past.

🩸 Creatures of Chrome (5:40pm & 9:00pm)
High-impact, body-positive pole artistry turned all the way up. Strength, sensuality, dark glamour, and unapologetic confidence crash together in a performance that’s equal parts power and spectacle. No apologies. No looking away.

🔥 Starfire Entertainment (4:00pm, 6:10pm & 8:50pm)
Fire. Flight. Flair. From blazing fire choreography to aerial lyra that defies gravity, plus hypnotic belly dance, Starfire brings immersive skill, handcrafted costuming, and jaw-on-the-floor visuals that light up the night.

🪓 Dream Cloud and Mila Muerte (5:10pm & 8:20pm)
North Jersey’s most unhinged duo—where mosh pit energy collides with sideshow chaos. Blood, tears, screams, and madness wrapped in alt-burlesque absurdity. You will laugh. You will gasp. You might regret standing too close.

This is Darkside.
Rituals will be performed. Bodies will fly. Fire will burn.
Come prepared… or don’t. We like surprises.

🎟️ Tickets available now at www.darksidenj.com. 🎟️
🖤 Enter at your own risk. 🖤
