A Very Unusual Christmas: Krampus & Curiosities 🖤👹

About this event

Who says the holidays have to be all sugarplums and candy canes? 🎄💀

We're heading to the World Oddities Expo: Krampus Bazaar for a delightfully dark twist on the holiday season!

Expect a weird mix of macabre art, oddities, taxidermy, unusual jewelry, curious creations, and plenty of spooky holiday spirit. Whether you're into gothic aesthetics, folklore, alternative art, or simply love discovering things a little outside the ordinary, this one's for you!

🖤 What to expect

We'll meet at the convention center entrance, explore the vendors and exhibits together, and enjoy a few hours of weird and wonderful discoveries.

This will be a relaxed outing, so there's no pressure to stick together every second or purchase anything beyond admission.

New to the group? Please come! You don't need to have attended a previous meetup or know anyone beforehand. We're all here to make new friends and find our people.
