We’re pretty excited about this event and we hope you will be too.

Once again Nightmare On 19th Street is hosting a “Dark Market”, and this year, we’re not just going big, we’re going gigantic.  I remember we started with 13 vendors, because of course we did, and this year, we’ve already had 40+ vendors commit.

So what is the Dark Market? It’s a spooky craft fair. That’s right, you can ditch the mass produced stuff out there and check out cool stuff that was handcrafted by people here in Lubbock.

The Dark Market features tons of jewelry, crocheted plushies, art, 3D printed essentials and so much more.

And what makes the Dark Market special is that it happens on opening night at Nightmare On 19th Street, so there’s an absolutely killer vibe, with awesome people, and random Nightmare ghouls roaming the midway.

Now, full stop! To shop, browse, and take pictures is absolutely free. You do not have to commit to a visit to the Haunted Houses. It’s just a great walk on a fall night with some very spooky surroundings.
