The Dark Market 2023
The Dark Market has a new venue and new dates this year!!
October 14th & 15th 2023, The Dark Market will be at the gorgeous MLP – Municipal Light Plant. The circa 1895 brick-built, first power plant for the city of Columbus, is now an event space and I know you will all love it!!
Please note – Vendor Applications are closed. There are no available spots at this time.
Come join us for a mystical event where performers, vendors, and guest speakers are gathering to amaze, to tempt and to share with us the magic that is The Dark Market. Magica, music, bones, candles, crystals, art, jewelry, rituals, esoterica, occultists, dancers and so much more!!!
Ohio has a strong magical community – if you are a part of it or would like to be, then don’t miss this gathering of like minded people!! This will be a diverse and inclusive event!! All are welcome – from the serious practitioner to the just curious!!!
Costumes are encouraged!!!
We are an all ages event! However, it depends on the child and if they get frightened easily. We normally say, “Parental Discretion Advised”. Children 12 and younger get in for free with adult admission and supervision.

This year’s market will be at MLP Events Live, located at 589 W. Nationwide Blvd, Columbus, OH 43215 (right across the street from the new Crew Stadium, Lower,com Field)
We are very excited for our new venue this year! The MLP – Municipal Light Plant was Columubus’ first power plant! It is now a gorgeous event space and we can’t wait for you all to see it!
**There is one drawback to this year’s event space. Because it is a historic building, there are some areas that are only accessible by stairs, most noteably, the classroom area. Please take this into consideration when buying All Access tickets that include the lecture series. **
