Lunar Faire Night Market 10/24: Dark Carnival @ Freehold

Deep in the heart of spooky season, we picked a theme that can only be described as...Dark Carnival. What would you look like if you were haunting an abandoned amusement park? We can't wait to find out!

BTW this is an attire theme, we will not actually be bringing in rusty old haunted carnival rides. But we may have at least one faire-themed carnival game that will probably be named something Pachinko ;)

Oh! Guys! We have a tight rope walker!!! He's setting up a rig in the middle of the faire so look up!

Tickets will be available at the gate for our full price: $25. That's why your best bet is to go presale. Presale prices end day of faire at 3:33 am.

This is an all-weather event. The only reason we would cancel is if the weather is extremely severe or if the parking fields are snow-covered, but our blizzard wizard is on retainer to prevent this.

Free! General parking is on grass and accessible parking is on asphalt close to the entry gate. Overflow parking will be along Seashore and Shore Roads.

We have a more robust FAQ section at lunarfaire.com/attend

That's Khloe, the owner's kid, and Julia, vendor and owner of Darling Thriftique :)
