 On Saturday, May 24, 2025, I visited the Nightmare Market on Schenectady’s Jay Street, along City Hall and the Jay Street Marketplace.  Organized and directed by Kayla Ek, it was billed as “A curated night market for the Wicked and Weird”. The thumbnail image at the head of this paragraph shows Front Page coverage in the Schenectady Daily Gazette, featuring Luna Faun’s Fire display; click on it for a larger version (Memorial Day, May 26, 2025, photo by Stan Hudy). 

Here are a few of the sights that were more enjoyable and thought-provoking than nightmarish that evening.
