Your hosts, Jen and Angie, on their way to visit The Paranormal Roadtrippers at a weekend paranormal investigation in Powell River.

You may remember them as vendors at our 2025 fair, as they were there to talk about all things spooky and paranormal with our guests!

Let's see what spirits come through this weekend. Do you have any paranormal stories you'd like to share? 👻

We are beyond excited to announce that the 2026 Crafts From The Crypt Fair is moving to a new haunt!

Due to the incredible growth of our annual Halloween event, we have expanded to the RCMP Barn at the Saanich Fairgrounds (1528 Stellys Cross Road, Saanichton, BC).

This bigger space will allow us to serve our guests and vendors better as we celebrate the best of the spooky season! We can’t wait to welcome you back for our 4th year of eerie excellence!
