The Oddities Festival comes to West Melbourne

Let's say you're looking for jewelry made from chainmail, or perhaps artwork featuring animal skulls. Maybe you're looking for vintage outfits that will allow you to strut around in style. Maybe you long for the company of a stuffed bat or bunny, or, if you're feeling adventurous, a supposedly cursed doll. You might be sure that insect art is just the thing for that empty wall space in the living room.

Whatever your cravings, you're in luck as long as your cravings are legal. You can probably satisfy those cravings and more at the 100-plus vendors at the first edition of what organizer Matt Gray hopes will become a regular event in Brevard.

Having received over 4,000 responses to the festival's Facebook page, Gray expects plenty of people, young and old, to flock to the park to check out the wares and make a strange day of it. In fact, Gray is so convinced that Space Coast residents simply crave the eccentric and unusual that he has scheduled the second Oddities Festival for Sunday, December 1.
