Market for the Strange

Gothic - Occult - Subversive - Surreal - Odd

Where Weird is Welcome

Market for the Strange was created to make space for the growing alternative art scene around Salem, Oregon. A place where the unusual is welcome, where the odd ones fit in, and where visitors can walk away with a little bit of the unexpected.

A community Market for the strange side of Oregon

We host a monthly pop-up art market in western Oregon. We alternate event locations between Salem and surrounding cities.
Our Footprint So Far:
Salem - Eugene - Springfield - Albany - Brownsville - Portland
A place to be you
Gothic leathers? Witchy outfits? Characterful costumes? Whatever your vibe is, we're happy to help you celebrate it. Many of our visitors show up to show off their strange fashions, so don't hesitate to pull that special getup out of your closet and show us what you've got!

Trick or Treat Streets

Do you need a little more haunted decor? Do you want to give your costume a test run? Do you like candy? You should come to Trick or Treat Streets, our Halloween themed oddities market. Walk our lanes of dark artists, creepy creators, and mischievous makers, and fill your bags with candy along the way!

For a special thrill, the Salem Oregon Circus Center is joining us with interactive acrobatics demonstrations. Learn the ropes with their talented aerialist instructors.
