A different type of carnival is coming to town. “Carnevil” is being billed as providing “an authentic old-fashioned Carnevil atmosphere that everyone will love!”
Carnevil host, Buffalo Events Marketplace describes the event as “an annual, unhinged alternative carnival market and festival. It blends a vintage circus atmosphere with gothic, macabre, and oddity-themed entertainment, making it a highly anticipated summer event for the local alternative and spooky-loving community.”
Held on Saturday, July 18 (2pm-8pm), the alternative festival and market is set to feature a wide array of vendors, makers, and oddity collectors, with artists selling gothic, horror, and unique handmade goods. There will be thrilling sideshow acts, performers, and spooky carnival characters, with haunt-themed games, tarot readings, and photo ops.
Best of all, it’s located at Buffalo River Grove, which is just minutes from downtown Buffalo, at 2299 Clinton Street in West Seneca.
Buffalo River Grove is a 7-acre family-owned outdoor event venue and picnic grove located in West Seneca, New York (formerly Fontana’s Grove). It features a large, covered 5,000 sq. ft. pavilion for private parties and hosts public events like live music and themed dinners.
