The Umbrae Noctis Festival was born out of the dark, dank winter dreary of the PNW. Knowing that there is beauty to be found in the shadows of the night, a coven came together to create a weekend long festival to celebrate all things dark and decadent. This four day event includes burlesque, a dark market, and so much more at the iconic Coffin Club in Southeast Portland! They are offering a pay-what-you-can system for those part of the BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ communities. Today, we were joined by event producers Natasha Riot, Megz Madrone and Mismonsta to talk about all the spooky happenings this week!
