We’re excited to welcome to the 3rd Annual Hallo-Fest Markt for the very first time! Based out of Philadelphia, Cosmic Scorpios creates handmade art, jewelry, and accessories that are funky, fun, and definitely not your everyday finds. From unique jewelry pieces to eclectic accessories, there’s sure to be something that catches your eye.

This is Cosmic Scorpios’ first time joining us for an SCCA markt, so make sure you stop by their booth, check out their work, and find yourself something a little out of the ordinary! Come shop Cosmic Scorpios and all of our amazing vendors THIS SUNDAY, September 13th from 11 AM–4 PM at the Historic Yuengling Mansion. It’s a free community event, so come kick off fall with us! 🍂✨

We’re thrilled to welcome The Wicked Grave to the SCCA for the very first time and honestly, what better event to make her debut than our 3rd Annual Hallo-Fest Markt?!

Evey, the creator behind The Wicked Grave, creates unique, one-of-a-kind pieces using ethically sourced bones and bugs. Her work is the perfect addition to the Halloween season (or, let’s be real, perfect for those of us who like a little spooky all year long 👻). Each piece has its own story and is definitely something you won’t find just anywhere!

We can’t wait to welcome Evey to the Mansion this weekend. Be sure to stop by The Wicked Grave and see what she brings with her! Join us THIS SUNDAY, September 13th from 11 AM–4 PM at the Historic Yuengling Mansion for the 3rd Annual Hallo-Fest Markt. It’s a free community event, so come shop small, explore the Mansion, and get your fall started with us! 🍂🖤
