Tampa’s just three months removed from the homegrown “Tabernacle Of Oddities” curated by the folks at Ybor City’s Dysfunctional Grace, but a touring expo featuring horrifically fun, and legal, collectibles returns to downtown Tampa this weekend.

Vendors from across the country are part of the lineup, which includes Florida artists like Orlando’s Jen Belak (work pictured). Extras include a rabbit taxidermy class and the Oddities Museum’s “Cryptic Collection of a Mad Clown.”

Kids under five get in free, but the festival won’t pay for any therapy they might need in the aftermath.

Tickets to Oddities & Curiosities expo happening Saturday, Nov. 11  at Tampa Convention Center start at $6. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
