Lunar Faire Night Market 10/5: Wheel of Fortune @ Atlantic City at Bader Field – Atlantic City, NJ

Wheel of Fortune: Tarot and Gambling, together at last.

Read on for all the details…

Why is our tarot theme in Atlantic City this year? Because of The Wheel of Fortune card, of course! Is it a bad idea to have gigantic tarot cards the size of full sheets of plywood at the windiest venue on our list? I insist it is not! (Do not ask anyone on logistics I promise they agree with me.)

This faire’s highlights

• Giant Tarot cards everywhere! Or already blown into the ocean by the time you get there!
• Two wire walker shows! and they’re on fire!
• A floating witch!
• A juggler!
• Maraoke – live music karaoke by Marin
• A free tarot card for you upon entry that symbolizes your vibe of the day
• Tarot deck exchange at merch
• Tarot card photo ops
• Surprise readings throughout the faire

Fit inspiration:

• Riverboat gambler
• Pull a tarot card and force yourself to be whatever’s on it
• Lemmy from Motorhead
• The Ace of Spades itself
• The naked baby on the horse from The Sun card
• Grim reaper
• As always, wear whatever TF you want

IMPORTANT PARKING INFO:

The City of Atlantic City charges $20 to park at this venue. We are looking for a sponsor to alleviate this fee but until/unless we can contract one, parking is $20 per vehicle. It sucks and I’ve exhausted all discussions with the municipality. I promise I tried!!!!

Day-of Tickets

Tickets will be available at the gate for our full price: $25. That’s why your best bet is to go presale. Which ends at a mystery time in the middle of the night on the day of the faire.

Kids under 10 are free

This Faire is Rain or Shine.

This is an all-weather event. The only reason we would cancel is if the weather is extremely severe or if the parking fields are snow-covered, but our blizzard wizard is on retainer to prevent this.

Parking is $20

General parking is on grass and accessible parking is on asphalt close to the entry gate. As stated earlier, this is the only venue that charges $20 to park but we will make it worth it!

We have a more robust FAQ section at lunarfaire.com/attend

That’s Khloe, the owner’s kid, and Julia, vendor and owner of Darling Thriftique 🙂
