Delightfully Dark 2026

Friday the 13th felt like the perfect night for something a little strange, a little magical, and a little mysterious. The event, Delightfully Dark: An Oddity Art Show, at Mellow Mug Cafe in Rochester, Indiana, and the evening delivered exactly the kind of energy we hoped for.

The wind blew hard outside, the lights flickered throughout the night, and somehow it only made the atmosphere more perfect. Surrounded by curious art, strange treasures, and beautiful oddities, the space felt alive with creativity.

Each table held something unique and unexpected, giving guests plenty to explore. A wonderful group of vendors filled the room with their work:

Murderous Alchemy

Anne's Oddities

Brett Manning Art

Nancy Rodriguez

The Treasure Nest

The Native Nook

Magician Norman Basile kept the crowd entertained with moments of mystery.

Shelby Lopez offered Tarot readings for those curious about what the cards had to say.

The cafe was full, the drinks were delicious, and the crowd brought such a great energy to the night. Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the artists, and helped create such a memorable evening.

Sometimes the most beautiful things live a little in the shadows.
