For those who prefer their summer solstice with a little more mystery, Moon, Serpent & Bone’s eighth annual celebration arrives June 19 at Prophecy Hall in Beacon. Founded by Amy C. Wilson in 2019, the long-running oddities and curiosities market has become a gathering place for artists, psychics, occult practitioners, makers, and self-described “fringe folk” from across the Hudson Valley. This year’s theme, “Saints & Sinners,” transforms the former church into an immersive environment of live performances, fire rituals, burlesque, music, tarot readings, dark art, and dozens of vendors selling everything from handcrafted curiosities to witchcraft supplies. Equal parts night market, theatrical spectacle, and solstice ritual, it’s one of the region’s most distinctive celebrations of the year’s longest day.
