Step into the Haunted-Style Vendor Marketplace of the Oswego Zombie Fashion Show, a wickedly fun vendor show where spooky meets creative and every booth holds a delightful surprise. This uniquely curated marketplace gathers an eclectic mix of artists, makers, collectors, and mystical merchants, all bringing their most hauntingly delightful creations to one delightfully eerie space. The atmosphere is playful, a little mysterious, and full of strange treasures waiting to be discovered around every corner.

​

Browse a spellbinding variety of handcrafted goods including gothic jewelry, creepy-cute plush creatures, horror-inspired art prints, hand-poured candles, eerie home décor, and witchy apparel. You might stumble upon curious oddities, preserved specimens, antique curios, and beautifully strange taxidermy pieces alongside handmade soaps, potion-inspired bath products, incense, crystals, and spell jars. Many vendors also offer magical services like tarot readings, oracle readings, aura photography, or energy work for those looking to explore the mystical side of the market.

​

The Marketplace celebrates the weird, the whimsical, and the wonderfully macabre. Expect booths filled with Halloween collectibles, spooky stickers and enamel pins, horror movie memorabilia, handmade clothing, enchanted herbs, creepy candles that smell like midnight forests, and one-of-a-kind crafts you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a longtime lover of the strange, a collector of oddities, a practicing witch, or simply someone who enjoys the playful side of the spooky season, the Vendor Market is the perfect place to wander, shop, and connect with fellow fans of the unusual.

​

Come explore, support independent creators, and take home something delightfully dark. At the Haunted-Style Vendor Marketplace, the vibe is funky, friendly, and just a little bit haunted — exactly how we like it.

​Located inside with the Oswego Zombie Fashion Show, the vendor market is a curated marketplace celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and the strange. This space is reserved for artists, makers, crafters, authors, illustrators, specialty creators, and vendors offering original, handmade, or independently designed products that complement the spirit of the Oswego Zombie Fashion Show.

​

The Feeding Grounds welcomes food trucks, local retailers, commercial services, sponsors, nonprofit organizations, and select exhibitors whose products or services enhance the festival experience. This area provides a vibrant outdoor gathering space for guests before and throughout the event. This outdoor space has different operating hours than the indoor market. 4:00pm-8:00pm ​

​

Our Vendor Curation Philosophy

​

The Oswego Zombie Fashion Show is a curated artist and maker market. While we celebrate originality and recognize that every handmade artist has a unique style, we aim to offer a varied marketplace and limit substantial overlap between vendors. Product-category exclusivity is not guaranteed.

When reviewing applications, we consider the overall product category and customer experience—not just whether two items are identical. This means multiple talented artists may create distinctly different handmade work, yet still be considered part of the same product niche.

Because of our limited space, we sometimes decline outstanding vendors simply to maintain variety throughout the market. These decisions are never a reflection of the quality of an artist's work, and we encourage applicants to apply again in future years as our vendor lineup changes.

​​​​​

There are various sections available in our vendor market this year.

These spaces are budget-priced!

 

Haunted Market Main Floor - $40

 

Be where the action is! Premium booths are located in the heart of the Zombie Fashion Show, giving your business maximum visibility as guests arrive, shop, and enjoy the event. These spaces are limited and typically sell first.

!NEW! The Catacombs - $15 !NEW!

​

Tucked away from the bustle of the main vendor floor, The Catacombs offer a smaller, more intimate indoor marketplace for vendors who want their work discovered by the curious and adventurous. This atmospheric chamber is perfect for oddities, curiosities, handmade goods, artwork, mystical wares, collectibles, tarot, unusual treasures, and other wonderfully strange things. The Catacombs are protected from the weather and intentionally limited in size, creating a quieter shopping experience where vendors have more opportunity to connect with individual shoppers.

Perched above the Zombie Fashion Show runway, these unique balcony spaces offer a dramatic bird's-eye view of the undead spectacle below.

Haunted Attic Chamber - $15
