STAGE PERFORMANCES

The main stage at the Darkside New Jersey Art & Oddities Market will pulse with a sinister energy, drawing you into a world where danger and desire collide. Prepare for jaw-dropping sideshow performances, with sword swallowers testing the edge of oblivion and fire breathers igniting the night. Sinisterly seductive burlesque and gravity-defying aerial acts will hypnotize, while pole dancers spin through the shadows with deadly grace. Live music will haunt the air, providing the soundtrack to an evening where the bizarre and the beautiful entwine. Step closer, if you dareโ€”this show is not for the faint of heart.
