📯 Hear ye! Hear ye! We are returning to Mount Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia for our 6th annual 𝔈𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔶 𝔇𝔞𝔶 𝔦𝔰 ℌ𝔞𝔩𝔩𝔬𝔴𝔢𝔢𝔫 market on Saturday October 4th, 2025!

🚨 APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!!!! Don't miss the deadline- MARCH 28TH! Apply here by www.darksomecraftmarket.com/apply 🚨

📣 ALL THE EVENT INFO BELOW 📣

100 SPOOKY ARTISTS
Darksome is not an oddities market - the focus isn’t on taxidermy and specimens. Darksome is not a flea market. There are no resellers and no vintage items. Darksome is an art & craft market that celebrates and champions HANDMADE art and craft with a weird and/or spooky twist! Rather than accepting anyone who is interested and having a plethora of vendors, we limit is to 100 and finely curate our event to bring you high quality creations.

EVENT ON PHILLY SIDE
We have hosted the event on both the Yeadon and Philly sides and have decided to continue to host it on the Philly side from here on out.

CEMETERY ADDRESS
Philly Side: 6201 Kingsessing Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19142 (Event held on the Philly side as well as limited free visitor parking)
🚗 Taking Rideshare/Lyft or Uber? It would be less of a walk to the event entrance to get dropped off at the Yeadon side - 1004 Cobbs Creek Parkway just use EXTREME CAUTION in crossing the parkway (unless you can get dropped off on the other side of the street)

PARKING
The Philadelphia side will host the market AND limited free visitor parking. Visitors should enter the cemetery at 6201 Kingsessing Ave to park. Please lock your car and leave your valuables at home.

We strongly encourage you to carpool, take an Uber/Lyft/Taxi to the event or public transportation. The #13 trolley will drop you off at the cemetery entrance (on Kingsessing). If you use ride share, uber, or lyft, you will be closer to the event entrance if you are dropped off on Cobbs Creek Parkway across from the Yeadon entrance which is 1004 Cobbs Creek Pkwy, Yeadon, PA 19050.

🚨 Parking on the Yeadon side will not be monitored. There will be no crossing guards to assist those crossing Cobbs Creek Parkway. If you choose to park on the Yeadon side, it’s at your own risk. Crossing Cobbs Creek Parkway on foot is dangerous. Please use extreme caution if you choose to do so.

HANDICAP PARKING
This is an abandoned cemetery. There are no actual parking spaces. We will have a small area of empty grass at the front of the event entrance reserved with handicap parking. We can fit 5-10 vehicles. When you enter, please tell the volunteers from the Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery that you would like handicap parking and if it is available, they will guide you.

VISITORS ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK
Mount Moriah Cemetery was abandoned in 2011 and was placed in a receivership in 2014. The grounds are cared for by the non-profit Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery, Inc., but…
There are many overgrown areas, uneven ground, rugged roads, and unsteady stones. Visitors enter at their own risk! Please do not climb on, lean on, or otherwise touch stones or mausoleums.
Click here to visit the Friends of Mount Moriah Cemetery website for more information about the cemetery.
Sorry, there is no seating in the cemetery.

VOLUNTEER RUN
Did you know that Mount Moriah technically has no owner? The Friends of the Mount Moriah Cemetery are all volunteers who are the stewards of the land doing their best to clear and maintain over 200 acres.

CEMETERY MAPS - (please visit our website to see the maps)
Cobbs Creek divides the Cemetery into two areas, the Yeadon side and the Philadelphia side. The market will be taking place on the Philly side.

ADMISSION
Admission is a suggested donation of $5. Cash only at the gate (no pre-purchase). Your donation supports the preservation and restoration efforts of the cemetery.

WEATHER
The event will take place rain or shine! If severe weather - thunderstorms for example - is called for 10/4, we will make the call Friday evening to move the event to our rain date on Sunday October 5th. We will post it right here if we are changing to Sunday, announce it on Instagram, Facebook and in the Facebook event.

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES ENCOURAGED
No real OR fake weapons allowed

VENDOR PAYMENT
Most vendors will accept card but it would be a good idea to bring some cash along as there is no ATM nearby, and in case any vendor is having issues with connectivity.

MUSIC

FOOD & DRINK - TBD!!

PET FRIENDLY
Well behaved, leashed dogs are welcome as long as you pick up after them and keep them away from headstones.
