The original Oddities & Curiosities Expo arrives at World Market Center Las Vegas September 19–20, 2026. The touring showcase runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days and describes itself as a gathering for lovers of the strange, unusual and beautifully bizarre.
What the Expo features
Visitors can browse curated vendors, artists and small businesses offering original dark art, antiques, handcrafted oddities, unusual jewelry, horror-inspired work, funeral collectibles and preserved specimens. Stage entertainment and photo opportunities add to the day.
Workshops and responsible sourcing
Separately ticketed classes may cover taxidermy, entomology or wet-specimen preservation. Options vary by city and day. The organizer states that animals used in classes and preserved displays are ethically and sustainably sourced.
The tattoo-culture overlap
Moths, botanical studies, anatomy, antique medical illustration and memento mori imagery have deep histories in tattooing. The Expo offers collectors reference material and access to independent art outside the usual flash wall.
Tickets and scam awareness
The organizer warns about fake event pages and directs buyers to its official website and verified social accounts. Confirm ticket providers, class inclusion, child admission and current policies before purchasing.
Press and attribution
The Expo maintains a press portal and permits use of designated website photos and video with credit. LVTC used original editorial art for this preview and has contacted the press team for future approved materials.
