Spooky Swap Meet Announces 2022 Return

Heritage Square Museum, Los Angeles, CA

Right off our Cemetery Lane update comes this rather timely news about another sinister happening returning this spring to the Heritage Square Museum. Last year’s big hit, Spooky Swap Meet, returns for another weekend at the end of April / beginning of July, with vendors and haunted displays from terrific artisans and haunters from all across Southern California! We loved our visit last year, and because of the limited capacity, there were definitely people who wanted to go but didn’t have a chance. This year, with COVID on the retreat hopefully for good, there’s a greater chance for both new and returning fans.

Mark your calendars for tickets going on sale this Saturday. It’s sure to be a fangtastic event!

From the press release:

Spooky Swap Meet Returns April 30 and May 1! Tickets go on sale just in time for Valloween (that’s Valentine’s Day for the less spooky folks)

Los Angeles, CA - Coinciding with the six month countdown to Halloween, Spooky Swap Meet returns to the hauntingly beautiful Heritage Square Museum for a curated shopping experience of all things macabre, Saturday and Sunday, April 30 and May 1, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m both days.

Dozens of vendors will have selections of gothic antique furnishings, Halloween inspired decor, costumes, props, and more. Fortune telling and food will also be available for purchase.

Guests of all ages will also be able to trick-or-treat at Heritage Square’s manors whose exteriors have been adopted and haunted for the weekend by sponsors including Vamp & The Fiends, Bones' Gulch Haunted Attraction, Samhain Cemetery, Fear Farm, and AdamJessFx.

A newly added VIP “Ghost Hunter” option includes a Spooky Swap Meet soft enamel pin and allows for entry at 10am when ticket buyers will be the first to have access to vendors and their wares-priced at $25.

As a bonus, a free, printable “Valloween” card will be available to download for those who plan to purchase tickets to give as a Valentine's Day gift.

“After selling out our event in 2021 and receiving overwhelming positive feedback from guests and vendors, we looked forward to returning in 2022,” said Spooky Swap Meet Co-Creator Claire Dunlap. “Along with being able to bring in fantastic vendors, we’ve also been able to recruit some uber-talented haunt pros to spook up the house's exteriors for a daytime trick-or-treat experience.”
