Witness the strange, the bizarre, the unusual..

Created in 2018 by local artists to fill a much needed void for this sub-culture art genre, the Menagerie has evolved from two oddities markets a year to spectacular themed shows with Curious Creatures and Purveyors selling extraordinary wares. We’ve taken our Jolly Band of Misfits on road trips across Northern California and founded the region’s first World Goth Day Festival with bands, DJs, a fashion show, and more.

We have a reputation for selecting unique venues which provide an interactive atmosphere to your market experience and a backdrop for the weird in all of us: The Winchester Mystery House, Preston Castle, Brookdale Lodge, The USS Hornet Museum, Camron-Stanford House, and more. Our focus is community, offering patrons and shoppers a safe place to come together in all things odd.

The Menagerie continually sets the standard in our realm by producing amazing events, seeking out the finest vendors from near and far, with many craft fairs or markets scouting our shows for “inspiration”. Among the art stalls of our shows you’ll find wondrous wares such as taxidermy (faux and traditional), alternative fine jewelry, medical and science specimens, occult & ritual items, bizarre photography, unique clothing, small batch products, dark art, classes & workshops, fascinating speakers, and a curated vendor line up you won’t find anywhere else!
