Goth Shopping – Goth Pride Market

We’re getting ready to welcome you to our third annual Goth Pride Market on Saturday, with 40 amazing artists and artisans from the 2SLGBTQ+ community. But there are some other fun markets taking place as well.

The Toronto Queer Market runs on Saturday at Barbara Hall Park in the gay village with a variety of vendors and drag performances.

If cute and cuddly is more your style, head to Scarborough for the Happy Cute Mart.

And if you’re in need of some witchy goodness, the Luna Events Summer Solstice Witches Market takes place in Cambridge, ON.

But obviously, don’t miss our fabulous celebration of everything dark… and rainbow bright!

Our market is family-friendly, our venue is fully accessible (except for the stage), the bar will be open so you can sip while you shop, and there’s an ATM on site.

Gothic Garden Market – Thank You

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and came out to our Gothic Garden Market yesterday. Almost 750 of you (our second largest turnout ever) came through the doors and bought all the things. You made a whole lot of amazing talented artists and artisans incredibly happy.

Thanks to those same artists and artisans who do so much incredible work and devote so much time to creating the coolest stuff. The very best part of my day is seeing your joyful faces as you leave with way less stuff to take home than you came with.

Thanks, as always to everyone at Ground Control, who give us the coolest and most welcoming place to host our market. You take such good care of us and we love working with you.
