A touch of magic swept through Ingersoll on Oct. 10 as the Ingersoll Cheese and Agricultural Museum hosted its award-winning Mystic Market from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Recently recognized as Special Event of the Year at the Oxford Tourism Awards, the evening lived up to its title, offering guests an enchanting night of mystery, creativity, and community.

The weather set the mood perfectly, a cool, cloudy fall evening, and admission was free of charge.

The museum grounds were transformed with witchy and whimsical décor, scattered among the heritage buildings. The barn served as the heart of the market. Inside, guests browsed an array of local vendors offering mystical and handmade treasures. Everything from tarot decks to handcrafted soaps, candles, and eerie artwork.

Entertainment for the evening added an extra spark of enchantment. Magician Francisco Perez wowed the crowd with his magic show, while Jim Munch the Zombie from Stomp and Celebrate, roamed the grounds, delighting and startling guests in equal measure. Dustin Wade from Woodstock’s Wade Manor brought along a fascinating collection of haunted and historic curiosities, giving visitors a glimpse into the strange and supernatural.

For those seeking insight from beyond, several psychic readers and mediums, including The Angelic Alchemist and Candice Northmore, offered palm and tarot readings throughout the night. Adding a touch of celebrity to the mix, local YouTuber Celina Spookyboo, known to her more than three million followers, was spotted exploring the event and chatting with vendors.

Visitors could enjoy treats from P. B’s Fries, Poppin’ Kettle Corn, and warm beverages from Camp Coffee.

With its spellbinding blend of atmosphere, artistry, and community spirit, Mystic Market once again proved why it’s a standout on Ingersoll’s fall event calendar.
