Goth Beach Party Market – Thank You!

Grateful and heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in our Goth Beach Party Market at Ground Control yesterday.

Thank you to our amazing vendors for your talent, hard work and professionalism. We appreciate each and every one of you.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support local artists and artisans. Your purchases absolutely make a difference to each and every small business that took part, and we are so happy and humbled that you’ve chosen to spend your hard-earned dollars with us.

Thanks as well to everyone at Ground Control. You folks are always there for us and we love and appreciate all of you and everything you do for the community.

And last but not least, thank you to every person who shared our posts and stories over the past month or so. Your efforts helped us achieve tens of thousands of views on many of our posts, and we have seen that translate into a significant increase in followers and a very respectable turnout of almost 500 people for an event in a summer where other alternative markets seem to be struggling. On behalf of yesterday’s vendors, thank you so much for the work you did in spreading the word and making our market a success for all involved!

We’re back at Ground Control on October 18th for our 3rd annual Hallowmas Market – we hope you’ll come and get spooky with us and over 40 amazing vendors! Vendor call for our Hallowmas Market ends on Tuesday, August 19th, so if you are an artisan who makes dark, weird, creepy, or macabre stuff, please visit our website to apply!

Also keep an eye out in early September for the vendor call for the Dark Arts Market Canada online holiday market. This online-only event will feature 50 vendors from across Canada over 3 days in November. Because with tariffs looming, it’s important that we remember to put our elbows up and Buy Canadian this coming holiday season!

Thank you again to everyone who took part… we’ll see you on the beach!

Goth Pride Market – Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who took part in our Goth Pride Market at Ground Control yesterday.

It is an honour and a pleasure to be able to support and promote the many talented artists and artisans who are part of the local goth and queer communities.

Heartfelt appreciation to everyone at Ground Control, who are such an integral part of both communities, and who have helped us grow our weird little market into such a joyful and successful event. Thanks to our amazing vendors, and to everyone who came out and supported local artisans by purchasing their wares.

We’re back at Ground Control on August 16th for our Goth Beach Party Market – so mark your calendars, and grab your parasol and your coffin-shaped pool floatie and come check us out! Vendor call for this market ends on Tuesday, June 24th, so if you are an artisan considering applying, better do it soon!

Also keep an eye out in mid-July for the vendor call for the Dark Arts Market Canada online Halloween market. This online-only event will feature 50 vendors from across Canada over 3 days in September.

If you missed us and want to check out some other in-person events, Ghostwood Market is at Parkdale Hall on Saturday, June 28th, and then again on August 2nd with a terrarium-themed market. And make sure you don’t miss the Something Strange Oddities and Curiosities Market on Sunday July 20th at Revival – not just a market but a whole museum of oddities and a fun sideshow that’s sure to freak you out!

Looking for other markets outside of Toronto? Check out the Dark Arts Market Canada Resources page (or our Instagram or Facebook accounts) for a list of alternative markets from coast to coast.

Again HUGE thank to everyone who was with us yesterday, we wish you all a safe and happy Pride!
