The inaugural Southern Gothic Festival, scheduled for Friday, October 18 – Sunday, October 20, will explore this rich cultural history through a contemporary lens, providing an updated vision while acknowledging its enduring cultural significance. Camden, well known for its history and charm, is well suited to host a festival dedicated to the continued celebration of the Southern Gothic tradition. The festival is timed for the Halloween season to resonate with an interest in exploring thoughtfully dark and enticingly spooky subjects.
Throughout this three-day festival, attendees will explore podcasters, musicians, and authors (including bestselling and critically acclaimed horror writers). Almost all events will be free.
