World Goth Day Festival is Back in the Bay
The 3rd Annual World Goth Day Festival is going off at the Empress Theatre in downtown Vallejo Saturday May 6th! This festival is a highly curated, immersive, innovative, and full sensory, multi-interdimensional, and experiential festival gala of transcendent dark art, music, entertainment and black pageantry that delves into and passionately explores over 40-years of influential and incomparable San Francisco Bay Area Goth Subculture.
The ART
The 3rd Annual World Goth Day Festival will feature an extravagant Art Market, proudly produced by Connstance and Michael Garcia, founders of the lauded and inimitable Menagerie Oddities Market, whose credo is, “This Ain’t Yer Grannies Craft Fair.”
On display will be 50 artisans, creators, crafters, and purveyors of eccentrically and esoterically Gothic baubles, trinkets, ornaments, novelties, knickknacks, and ephemera, such as elegant jewelry, clothing, accessories, photography, home decor, taxidermy, and works of fine art and other collectible oddities and curiosities created from components, parts, pieces, items and elements hand-made, foraged and found.
The Menagerie Oddities Market draws a merry band of nomadic, feral and cultishly-dedicated, awesomely awe-inspiring, anomalously aberrant, distinctively divergent and devient, as well as idiosyncratic and individualistic misfit artists from near and as far away as New York, South Carolina, Portland, and Los Angeles who regularly participate in the now, nearly 40, annual fantastical and festishized themed Curiosities Shows, Peculiar Pop-Ups, Residencies and Festival events projected for 2023.
