Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our “A Victorian Séance Experience” event has grown and evolved over its seven-year run, and it’s time for a brand refresh that encompasses ALL of the activities we have going on for our most popular weekend! Don’t worry, there are no changes to how the event operates, just the logo and how we refer to the event as a whole.

    Admission to Festival of Phantasmagoria is FREE. There are ticketed experiences and vendor purchases you can make, but you can also show up, watch some silent films on the lawn, attend a storytelling or a speaker, and hang out. Bring your friends!
