Albany Prepares For Halloween With A Haunted Twilight Market

October has finally rolled around, which means it's Halloween season. All across the Capital Region, folks are preparing their home decorations, costumes, and plans to make this Halloween one to remember.

While there are plenty of Halloween events around the area, there's none like Alban y's Twilight Market.

What is the Twilight Market?

Taking place every couple of months around the Capital Region, the Twilight Market is the area's first alternative market. Where typical events like this will have local foods and art for sale, this market focuses more on taxidermy, witchcraft, and the dark arts.

As such, the market is at its peak in October, as we wait for the spookiest holiday of the year. Every booth, show, and vendor focuses on something or other behind the veil of this reality, and taking place in the shroud of night certainly helps matters.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase, though alcohol will not be allowed on the premises. If you'd like to bring your children, be warned. Many vendors and artists will be displaying sensitive subject matters such as sexual art, curse words, taxidermy, blood art, and more. Regardless, everyone (even your dogs, cats and snakes) is welcome to stop by, and enjoy the spookiest showcase of the Capital Region.
