Something Wicked This Way Comes: The Cortland Curiosities Market Returns …at a New Haunt

CORTLAND, NY — Shadows stir and spirits whisper… the Cortland Curiosities Market is back for its third annual celebration of the strange and spectacular and this time haunting an all-new lair. On Friday, October 17, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the market will materialize inside The Vault, a historic bank turned event venue in the heart of downtown Cortland. Is it haunted? We’ll never tell.

For the first time, visitors can sip deviously delicious cocktails, specialty coffees, and bewitched concoctions from The Vault’s in-house bar and lounge as they browse an eerie marketplace of curiosities. Beneath the soaring ceilings and old bank vault doors, you’ll find haunted antiques, macabre jewelry, bone-chilling art, and uncanny oddities lurking around every corner.

Some of this year’s purveyors of the peculiar include (but are not limited to):
From the Dirt Craftworks, Dragonfyre Distillery, Beacon Peak, Area 51, Maslin’s Guarden, Crown City Curiosities, Press Gurwitz Perfumerie, Nipotina Tea, Good Neighbor Art, Cortland Curiosities, Gypsy & Gent Vintage Finds & Bakes, and Evermore.

Indulge in sinfully sumptuous baked goods with your cocktail or coffee, tempt your taste buds with whiskey and moonshine tastings from local distillers, and discover tea rituals, tarot readings, and mysterious handcrafted treasures that just might follow you home.

Now in a hauntingly beautiful new home, the Cortland Curiosities Market promises its most immersive experience yet. Admission is free. Enter if you dare…
