FOR SPECIFIC CLASS DETAILS AND SHOW INFORMATION
PLEASE VISIT:
The Oddities & Curiosities Expo showcases hand selected vendors, dealers, artists and small businesses with all things weird.
You'll find items such as: taxidermy, preserved specimens, original artwork, horror/halloween inspired pieces, antiques, handcrafted oddities, quack medical devices, creepy clothing, odd jewelry, skulls/bones, funeral collectibles & much more.
We truly have something weird for everyone at our shows.
All items you see at our shows are legal to own and sustainably sourced. Outside of our curated vendors, we host sideshow performers on stage all throughout day and the opportunity to learn the craft of taxidermy with classes available during the expo.
The O&C Expo provides a safe place for anyone to come and discover new artists, meet new friends and be surrounded by an amazing community of like-minded people.
We pride ourselves in being a completely "DIY" ran show from start to finish. We find so much joy in being able to provide a place where you can feel at home surrounded by others that share the same interests. We are the first and original traveling event exclusively showcasing oddities vendors and dark artists in the country.
We are a one of a kind event and the first to do what we specialize in. We take tremendous pride in this and hope to gain your support along the way.
