Forget the dinner and the wilted carnations. This year, Valentine’s weekend starts on Friday the 13th, and we’re embracing the bite.

Join us under the oaks for VELVET & VENOM, a Night Market dedicated to the darker side of desire. We’re ditching Cupid and leaning hard into the bad luck, the obsession, and the wyrd.

Come get seduced by the shadows. Here’s what awaits you:

THE MARKET: A wicked curation of more than 20 vendors slinging spicy dark romance novels, gothic art, vintage leather & lace, and talismans for your favorite villain.

THE POURS: Our taps will be flowing with dark brews and intoxicating elixirs all night long.

THE GRUB: Smashley's Burger Bar will be serving up the goods to fuel your night of bad decisions.
