MILWAUKEE — It was all about letting your freak flag fly at Lakefront Brewery on Thursday night. The popular spot to grab a beer hosted its first Rare Bird Market. It was similar to an oddities market.
There were vendors selling bone jewelry, bugs, live art, masks, chainmail sets, taxidermy, obscure vintage church items, and more. It was a celebration of all things weird, scary, strange, odd, unique, different, fun, and all the other similar adjectives.
The event went from 4 pm to 8 pm. The staff at Lakefront only expected about 100 people to show up tonight. It took about an hour for the first 100 to show up. Rare Bird Market exceeded any expectations. Now, the staff is already thinking about how to make it bigger and better for the next iteration.
