3rd annual - A Night of the Mystic Arts - 1/10/2025

---

Long ago, the mid-way point between the winter solstice in December and the spring equinox in March was commemorated with the celebration of an ancient Celtic holiday called Imboloc. On this day, it was believed that the world, deep in the sleep of the cold and snowy winter, needed to be reminded that the seasons would again change. Candles would be lit so their flames would remind people that the sun, warmth, and spring would return to the land. On this day, the energies of the natural world were thought to be extremely strong in their transition. In honor of the shift from winter to the coming of spring, we invite you to join us for a celebration of the spiritual, unexplained, and the impossible!

Join us on Friday, January 10th, 2026 for Society for Historic Casselberry's 3rd Annual A Night of the Mystical Arts Festival at Lake Concord Park in Casselberry. The event will be hosted in conjunction with the City of Casselberry's Friday Food Truck event from 5-9PM.

Enjoy a live music concert and a collection of savory food trucks just steps away. Members of the critically acclaimed Victorian horror troupe Phantasmagoria Orlando will be giving mini performances throughout the night. This is a FREE event that is open to the public with fun for all!

We're still accepting a limited number of vendors to join our exciting Night Market! We expect to have around 45 vendors selling their goods and services in the Night Market. No more than 60 vendors will be invited to participate in the Night Market so we can bring the best selection of participants possible to festival guests.

We seek vendors of the following types: oddities & curiosities, art, photography, jewelry, crystals, tarot, books related to ghosts, spiritualism, mysticism, New Age arts, and the unexplained. We also invite vendors who wish to do mini readings related to fortune telling/tarot/palmistry/aura reading, etc. We are also looking for bakers, confectioners, and beverage vendors who can sell their items from a 10x10 event space. Finally, we welcome a limited number of participants who are selling items related to the winter season and/or horror/gothic genres.

You asked, we listened! We are excited to announce that we have expanded our types of available vendor sponsorship.

Regular Vendor spots are available at a cost of $25. Vendors who choose this level will be provided with 10x10 event space, early access to the venue for set-up, and electricity if needed. All vendors must provide their own tent, table, chairs, and extension cords. Regular vendors will have their venue spot assigned to them by event staff.

VIP Vendor spots are available at a cost of $50. Vendors who choose this level will receive all the benefits that Regular Vendors receive. However, VIP Vendors will also receive the following additional benefits. First, VIP Vendors will be able to choose their vendor spots out of those available at the time payment has been received and participation confirmed with event staff. Next, VIP Vendors will also receive the following PR benefits: name and/or logo listed on event webpage; name and/or logo included in at least one mass email sent to Historic Casselberry email subscribers; name and/or logo included in at least 3 social media posts between December 1st and January 1, 2025; mention of the vendor name and goods sold from the front stage one time during the event by the event Mistress of Ceremonies from the front stage. Finally, VIP Vendors in 2024 will get priority reservation for the 2025 Mystic Arts event. VIP Vendor spots are limited in number and are accepted on a first come/first serve basis.

Attendance at the same event in 2023 had between 1500 and 1800 people. Expected attendance at the 3rd annual festival is expected to be between 2000 and 2500 people.

Please note that all registration fees are NONREFUNDABLE. No exceptions. This is a strict policy that will be enforced so please be aware before you commit to participate in the Night Market.

To sign up as a vendor, you must complete the Online Vendor Registration form, pay your fee via Paypal (please note that this is the ONLY form of payment we accept), and receive an email confirmation from Event Coordinator Deborah Bauer. Please note that anyone contacting you about this event that does so from any other email but the email listed below is a scam.

With the coming of Hurricane Milton to Central Florida this week, the City of Casselberry, our venue host, has closed all city properties in preparation for the storm. As a result, we have had to cancel this week's ANMA Festival that was scheduled for Friday, October 10th, 2024. That is the bad news..

However, we also have good news. A Night of the Mystic Arts has already been rescheduled for Friday, January 10, 2025.  

We are working diligently with both the talent and vendors who had already signed up for the October date.  If you are a vendor, you should have already received an email from us about the situation. Please check you spam filter if you don't see it.

Vendor fees will be honored on this date in January . While we do have a strict no refunds policy, we are going to attempt to work with all vendors as best we can. We hope that vendors will choose to vend with us in January and are available to do so. If, for some reason they are unable to join us in January, we can also offer them the choice of applying their vendor's fees to the 4th Annual ANMA that will be held on Friday, October 10, 2025. We also will lock in your rate for 2025 with this year's fees paid in the event vendor fees change for next year's festival. At your earliest convenience, if you are a vendor, please let us know which choice you would like to go with so we can update our records accordingly.

Please be patient with us over the next few days as we take time to prepare for the storm ourselves. We will be in contact sometime next week (tentatively, depending on how bad the storm is).


We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused anyone. Know that we are as excited as you are for the 3rd Annual A Night of the Mystic Arts. We look forward to seeing you all in January and hope you all stay safe!

Details about the January 10, 2025 will be forthcoming shortly. Stay tuned!
