Attention punk and Goth enthusiasts: Make way for Halloween fun!
Bucks County Punk Rock Flea Market brings its own gloriously “spooky-kooky” vibe Sunday to Bensalem just in time for Halloween.
After increasingly popular quarterly markets, which began last December, Anja Keister of D20 Burlesque said the October event is special.
Keister and James Lamb of Rivot Magazine are co-organizers of the Bucks County Punk Flea Market.
“This is our first Halloween market. I’m a big fan of Halloween and spooky-stuff,” so expect the inaugural Halloween market to be a real treat, Keister said.
Sunday’s market will include three live musicians and an opportunity for “flash” tattooing by woman-owned, Hatboro-based Midnight Mass Tattoo Collective.
Flash sheets are prepared designs from which customers can choose. Event tattoo prices will range from about $50 to $150.
“Four different artists will be on the second floor, which will be separate and private and walk-ins are welcome,” Keister added.
Keister said attendance continues to increase with each event.

After the August market held at TileWorks, organizers heard the call from patrons for more music, especially vinyl, to buy – and live more music to enjoy at the events.
The Dec. 13 market – and first anniversary – bring Keister and Lamb’s efforts full circle. This year’s final market is set for the original Hopscotch location in Doylestown.
Because 2026 market attendance steadily grew larger, Keister expects to continue quarterly events in 2027.
Keister said the event is not a “haunted house with roving people” set to scare patrons, and families who enjoy punk and Goth culture should be comfortable bringing their kids.
“It’s for all ages – so bring the whole family,” Keister said.
