2nd Annual Central Coast Oddities & Curiosities Show

Get ready for a mind-boggling experience at The 2nd Annual Central Coast Oddities & Curiosities Show on Saturday Sep 13, 2025 at the Alex Madonna Expo Center presented by the Menagerie Oddities Market!

This is the event seasoned collectors and curiosity seekers intrigued by the unusual, turn out for a day showcasing a wide range of talented artists and vendors from our highly curated lineup of purveyors selling extraordinary wares: dark art, bizarre home decor, peculiar artifacts, unique fine jewelry, strange collectibles, trinkets for the boudoir, rare specimens, and more.

Indulge in the thrill of the unexpected as our cast of curious creatures entertains you.
