An immersive night of music, vendors, and late-night cabaret unites Atlanta’s alternative arts scene.

 Mystic District Marketplace returns for another immersive year with The Inferno Edition, a night of art, performance, and radical self-expression. Taking place on Saturday, April 11th from 4 PM to 1 AM at Star Community Bar, this annual gathering invites the public to step into a world where creativity, community, and catharsis collide.

A beloved staple in Atlanta’s alternative arts scene, Mystic District Marketplace has grown into more than a market. What began as a grassroots gathering of artists, witches, and curious creatives has evolved into a vibrant, inclusive space where attendees are encouraged to embrace individuality, celebrate identity, and connect with their “coven.”

This year’s Inferno Edition embraces themes of transformation and release, “burning it all down” to make space for joy, connection, and collective renewal.

“Mystic District gifts the opportunity to intentionally curate a space where Atlanta’s artists, performers, and creatives can be fully seen and celebrated. The Inferno Edition is about transformation: releasing what no longer serves us and creating space for joy, connection, and self-expression. We built this as a haven for the community to come together, explore, and experience something truly immersive and liberating.”
– Liz Peña, Producer of Mystic District Marketplace.

Mystic District Marketplace offers a dynamic, multi-sensory experience unfolding in two parts across the evening.

From 4 PM to 10 PM (18+), guests are invited to explore the outdoor mystic market, featuring 25+ curated local vendors offering art, vintage pieces, handmade goods, tarot readings, taxidermy, and metaphysical curiosities. The market will also feature interactive art, live DJ sets, and fire performances woven throughout the night.

From 10 PM to 1 AM (21+), the experience transitions indoors for a late-night cabaret, hosted by Mecca Mwah. This high-energy showcase will feature a lineup of drag, burlesque, and experimental performances by Taylor ALXNDR, Royal Tee, Koochie Koochie Ku, and City Alien, alongside DJ sets by GeeXella, Evan Flow, and Lezzie McGuire.

In addition to its performances and marketplace, Mystic District Marketplace remains committed to uplifting the local community. This year’s event will include a raffle benefiting GLAHR (Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights), supporting ongoing mutual aid efforts within Atlanta.

Attendees are encouraged to embrace the theme with inferno-inspired attire, cosplay, and bold self-expression, contributing to the event’s signature atmosphere of creativity and freedom. Food and drinks will be available on-site via Star Community Bar.

Mystic District Marketplace continues to serve as a platform for Atlanta’s diverse creative community, bringing together artists, performers, and small businesses in a space designed for exploration, celebration, and connection.
