Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird

Emporium of the Weird is Oddmall’s largest and most established show! It features hundreds of booths showcasing the works and wonders of an abundance of artists, crafters, entertainers, and purveyors of games, toys, comics, and all things geeky, awesome, amazing, amazingly amazing, and amazingly amazingly amazing. Live entertainment, costume contests, and a variety of interesting diversions fascinate even the most jaded of curmudgeons.

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE! There are vendors, entertainment stages, and other great things to do both INSIDE and OUTSIDE!

It’s the Oddmall Talent Show and everybody is invited to participate!

ZOO ODD LOGY! It’s the Oddmall reptile and exotic animal show! Vendors selling (legal) reptiles and other exotic animals are invited to participate. We’ll have live animal educational demonstrations and vendors selling a wide variety of pets and pet accessories.

Our friends from Battlegrounds to Boardgames and Ohio Gaming Alliance will have a variety of board games and other tabletop games for you to play at booths 28-32. There will also be miniature painting, roleplaying games, and other snazzy diversions.

COSTUME CONTEST! Of course there will be a costume contest. In fact, the winner of Best-in-Show will earn a FREE BADGE to Con on the Cob 2023! It happens at 3:00pm Saturday and Sunday on the outdoor stage. No need to preregister; just show up in costume 15 minutes beforehand and we’ll get things going!!!!

ARTS & FARTS: Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird will be hosting the ODDMALL ARTS & FARTS Caravan of FOOD TRUCKS! Everybody loves food trucks. It’s a known fact. Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird will be host to several. Get your grub on for both LUNCH and DINNER! Oddmall judges will be sampling the fare of each grub-slinger and handing out awards for their favorite.

OUTDOOR GAMES: Enjoy such diversions as GIANT CROQUET! REGULAR-SIZED CROQUET! BADMINTON! VOLLEYBALL! and other fun snazz, jazz, razz, and razzamatazz!

AXE THROWING! Oh, man! Our new friends from Grab That Axe will be outside with their state-of-the-art axe-throwing trailer. To clarify, the trailer itself does not throw axes. It’s the people in the trailer that throw the axes (at targets, not each other). You could be one of them!

Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird is host to THE ODDMALL NIGHT MARKET. This is a snazzy way of saying it’s open into the evening.

Professional tattoo artists, body piercers, and other such artists are welcome at Oddmall: Emporium of the Weird. All body artists must be properly licensed and all operations are subject to the laws and regulations of Ohio and Stark County.
