The Strange Bazaar’s second annual Summer Solstice gathering returns June 21 at the Caetani Centre grounds (3401 Pleasant Valley Road) from 1–7 PM. Admission is free!

Wander through 19 vendors from near and far offering everything from the magical to macabre -  including ceramics, metalwork, jewelry, taxidermy, oddities, vintage finds, otherworldly illustration, handmade clothing, tarot readings, and delicious food.

Take part in interactive vendor activities throughout the day: hammer your own metal rune, contribute to a collective typewritten poem, or make your own lino-printed clothing item (bring something to print!).

At 2 PM, gather for ghostly tales from Lady Amelia, then stay for a special performance by The Collector at 4 PM.

The Strange Bazaar aims to bring something a little different to the Vernon community — a celebration of the odd, enchanted, curious, and handmade.

Parking at the Caetani Centre is very limited and reserved for those with mobility challenges. Street parking is available on neighbouring roads for those able to walk to the site. Please be respectful of neighbours and avoid blocking driveways. No parking is permitted on Pleasant Valley Road.

Please note: the Saturday, June 20 Caetani Summer Solstice Music Festival and Market is a separate ticketed event.
