In addition to shopping, guests will have opportunities to enter raffles for prizes, like gift baskets, $25 gift cards, and Bluetooth speakers. Proceeds from the raffles will benefit transgender youth whom Bearded Noise founder Tiffany Aichele mentors. 

"I've always felt out of place as a trans POC vendor who deals in creepy, Halloween, horror-type of products," Aichele said. "I rarely ever meet or even get to see POC goths, so I thought if I can't find a vending event like this, then why not create one?" 

The list of vendors is below:

Bearded Noise: Creepy products and handmade jewelry
Chelita's Designs by Michelle: Hand-painted glass and kitchenware
Malachi Lily: Art, decor, and prints
Dark Jasmine Fashion: Fashion and jewelry-box maker
Ray Lapinski: Art and jewelry
ForYourUniqueSide: Jewelry and other oddities
Stina Garcia: Jewelry made from bone, teeth, and metals
This Many Boyfriends Club: An artist collective specializing in ceramics

Prizes for the raffles were donated by small businesses, including: 

Bearded Noise
Meg Potoma: Graphic artist selling enamel pins, buttons, and stickers
Moo Tattoo: South Philly tattoo shop
Atomic City Comics: South Philly shop with back-issue comics and graphic novels
The Creepy Crawly Company: Horror-themed gift shop, with t-shirts, books, and buttons
