EVENT: Fall Festival of Freaks
September 26, 2026
Festival of Freaks debuts September 26th from 12pm–11pm at beautiful Blooming Bus Farms in Niles, Michigan. This first-year full moon celebration of the weird and wonderful features live music, food trucks, spooky art vendors, and plenty of strange surprises. True crime podcasters Blood in the Cornfields will also be on site, bringing their eerie storytelling to the festival grounds. In addition to supporting the local creative scene, 10% of festival profits will be donated to Resonant Vibe, a local nonprofit providing youth mentoring and parent support services to Elkhart & St. Joseph Counties, IN.
Festival of Freaks is seeking spooky, strange, and unique vendors for our first festival on September 26th at Blooming Bus Farms in Niles, MI. Artists, makers, oddities sellers, vintage dealers, and creators of all things weird are encouraged to apply.
Fall Festival of Freaks is also seeking sponsors who want to support local music, art, and the wonderfully weird spirit of our community.
