FULL FESTIVAL SCHEDULE

Move into the darkness and explore our chilling main schedule, where darkness reigns and every moment pulls you deeper into the unknown. Witness stage performances that blur the line between nightmare and reality, as eerie talents unfold before your eyes. Feel the pulse of live music with haunting rhythms that echo through the night, and lose yourself in the Dark Wave Silent Rave, where the only sound is the sinister beat in your soul.

Master classes summon the bravest to learn the dark arts from the masters of the macabre, while the Film Festival screens twisted tales that will haunt your mind long after the credits roll. And beware—the night is graced by spectral guests, phantom celebrities whose presence lingers like a cold breeze in the dark.

This is more than just a schedule—it's an invitation to a world where the shadows dance and the unknown calls.

Welcome to Darkside New Jersey Art & Oddities Expo

Darkside New Jersey Art & Oddities Market is NJ’s only large scale oddities and curiosities festival featuring 100's of exhibitors of the odd & bizarre, fire breathers, sword swallowers, tattoos & piercings, haunting performances, speakers on the Occult, Autopsies as well as The Jersey Devil and more weird, odd, strange and macabre than you can possibly grasp.


🌔⚰️ A WINTER INDOOR NIGHT MARKET FOR THE BEAUTIFULLY DAMNED ⚰️🌖 When the last light dies, something ancient stirs. Darkside After Dark returns for an unholy evening on February 28, 2026, inviting only the bold, the curious, and the beautifully damned to cross the threshold. This gathering is smaller, tighter, and far more intimate… a curated night market where the shadows lean in close and every corner hums with the darkest of energies. VENDOR APPLICATIONS are now open, but spaces are scarce by design. Only a chosen few will make the cut. Apply now at www.darksidenj.com. Those seeking passage into the darkness can secure their fate now:
 - 🎟️ General Admission
 - 💀 RIP VIP (early access + exclusive perks)
 - 👥 Group Ticket Bundles All tickets are available online now at www.darksidenj.com. Claim yours before the veil seals shut. The night is calling. Step inside… or be left outside with the living.
