🌑⚰️ THANK YOU FOR ENTERING THE SHADOWS ⚰️🌑

Season of the VVitch was our first Darkside event in Mercer County, and you beautiful little night creatures showed up for it.

Thank you to every vendor, artist, performer, food truck, staff member, volunteer, photographer, musician, reader, dancer, fire spinner, goth, ghoul, collector, curious wanderer, and wonderfully strange soul who helped bring the night to life.

You made the darkness feel alive.
And we are not done.

Darkside returns on Friday, November 13th for the Friday the 13th Dark Market at the New Jersey Expo Center in Edison.

This will be a fully indoor night market crawling with sinister art, unnatural objects, handmade horrors, vintage relics, food trucks, live entertainment, macabre finds, cursed curiosities, oddities, and all manner of strange little things that probably should’ve stayed dead and buried.

FRIDAY THE 13TH DARK MARKET
Friday, November 13th
New Jersey Expo Center
97 Sunfield Ave, Edison, NJ
4:00pm ~ 11:00pm

Advance tickets are available now at www.njisodd.com.

🔥🗡️THE FLAMES HAVE BEEN SUMMONED🗡️🔥

This Saturday, Starfire Entertainment joins Darkside Art & Oddities Market: Season of the VVitch for a night of fire, steel, spectacle, and shadow.

Throughout the evening, they’ll bring sideshow performances, fire performances, fire eating, knife juggling, bed of nails, and other acts pulled straight from the darker corners of the carnival.

As darkness falls over Mercer County Park, their performances will move through the market alongside live music indoors and outdoors, fire pits glowing in the dark night, strange vendors, oddities, curiosities, dark art, tarot, ritual goods, food trucks, and the kind of atmosphere that only happens when the right people gather after sunset.

This is not background entertainment.
This is part of the ritual.

🕯️ 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. 🎟️
