Ybor City has its Tabernacle of Oddities, and now St. Pete gets to have an afternoon of weird, gotta-have shit, too.

A traveling oddities expo lands at one of the Sunshine City’s most special gathering places, The Coliseum, for a one-day market that’ll include performers, talks and macabre guest speakers.

On site-tattoos come from Villain Arts while other companies provide live painting, burlesque and more. Think Barnum & Bailey meets a funeral home version of “Antiques Roadshow.”

VIPs can pay a little extra to get in an hour early at 10 a.m. And you might want to prep your kid for what they might see if you’re bringing the little one along.

Tickets start at $20 for World Oddities Expo happening Saturday, May 31 in St. Petersburg.
Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
