What to find at the Lyndhurst Gothic Market
Inside the Pavilion, vendors sell curated antiques, gothic jewelry and witchy wares.

For the season, its rooms are dressed in Halloween and autumn decorations.
There are two places to eat. Artisanal food vendors fill the Harvest Tasting Room. Over in the Bowling Alley area, choices include Oyster Party, Crispin Dopamine and a truck from Captain Lawrence. For something sweet, Jimmy’s Ice Cream is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Live music from the Altogether Band carries on throughout the day.
