Beach Party Market

Saturday, August 15th, 2026
11am – 5pm
Ground Control
1279 Queen St. W.

It’s hard to be a Goth in the summer. That’s why our idea of “the beach” includes hanging out in a nightclub with frosty air conditioning, and never going out in the sun without a parasol and SPF 100.

Please join us in our cool, frosty lair on Saturday, August 15th as we host 35+ artists and artisans of dark, alternative wares.

Our market is (mostly) family-friendly. Our gorgeous venue is close to parking and transit, is fully accessible, and has an ATM on site. The bar will be open for customers to enjoy a beverage while they shop.

Vendor call for this market is now closed, with an extensive wait list. Please do not contact us asking to be added. Artisans interested in taking part in a TDAM event should sign up for our Vendor Mailing list to receive advance notice.

The images for this campaign were created using public domain beach-themed photographs from the 1920s.
