Lunar Faire is NJ’s Ultimate Night Market Experience. Period.

If you’re looking to escape the ordinary and dive headfirst into something truly magical, look no further than Lunar Faire Night Market, New Jersey’s favorite bimonthly traveling witchy-and-weird night market.

As a trailblazer for New Jersey’s witchy and alternative scene, Lunar Faire is so much more than a typical market—it’s an open, creative community and a total escape from the ordinary.

It’s also a great way to shop local and spend intentionally. The vendor lineup highlights women-owned and LGBTQ+-owned small businesses, so every crystal, potion, craft, or piece of oddity art you buy goes directly to independent creators. New Jersey Isn’t Boring has had a booth at several Lunar Faires, and it’s always been a great time with a great vibe.

With a new theme at every stop, no two Lunar Faires are the same. Expect a full lineup of entertainment, from fire dancers and drag queens to tarot readers, live music, and plenty of weird, wonderful surprises.

Plus, all events are family-friendly and alcohol free (with plenty of awesome mocktails).

All events are $15 in advance / $25 day-of, with the exception of Halloweekend, which is $25 in advance/$35 day-of and available for pre-purchase on Eventbrite. Kids 10 and under are free.
