We’ve got a little cosmic update. A storm is stirring off the coast (the meteorological and interdimensional kind), so WeirdFest is officially rescheduled for September 19, 2026 at Professor Hacker’s Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway.

That might sound like tragedy, but it’s actually the best-case scenario. The extra time gives our creative crew, sponsors, and volunteers space to dream even bigger, and it means WeirdFest will open the spring season with maximum multiversal flair. Plus, we’ll be building out WeirdFest Online for your amusement in the interim.

So rest easy, Interdimensional Travelers. The Rift will reopen when the skies are clear.

And many, many thanks to our WeirdFest sponsors Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway, Sound Choice Insurance, Car Butler, 99.5 The Wave, Coastal Carolina Professional Counseling Services, and Carteret County Chamber of Commerce for rolling with the punches and seeing the opportunity in a delay

To all of you who volunteered as aliens, sasquatches, pirates, gorillas, et al., I hope you’ll still be able to join us in the fall. You are the most important part of WeirdFest.
