Where the Curious Gather, Your Booth Belongs
Welcome to Cogs and Crowns Events
We create immersive, unforgettable gatherings for the misfits, makers, witches, weirdos, and wonderfully strange. If you’ve stumbled here from one of our festivals — Wonderplace Alpha, The Halloween Vendors & Oddities Market, or one of our upcoming seasonal events — you already know we’re not your average event company.
Our shows are a celebration of the offbeat and extraordinary: a place where artists, performers, and vendors come together with curious crowds to revel in a world just a little more twisted than reality. Whether you’re a seasoned seller of peculiar wares or a wide-eyed newcomer looking for your next favorite weekend escape, you’re in the right place.
We run four major events a year — spring, summer, fall, and winter — each one crafted with care to bring together vibrant vendors, electric performances, and crowds who love something a little out of the ordinary. Our vendor community is the beating heart of every show, and we’re always looking to welcome new talent into the fold.
Explore what’s coming up, see where your work fits in, and maybe — just maybe — find yourself at home.
