You don't need a conference ticket to explore the StaarCon 6 Marketplace. It's free and open to the public all weekend, starting Friday at Noon. This year's Marketplace is expected to be the largest in StaarCon history, filling the DoubleTree by Hilton in Palm Beach Gardens with independent tarot and oracle deck creators, jewelry and crystal artisans, authors, readers, and metaphysical shops from across the region.
Confirmed exhibitors already on the floor include Michele Leonello, Academy of Self Discovery, Soal Star Intuitive Arts, Peter Coe, GiGi Beads, and Christiana Gaudet herself, with more vendors and sponsors joining the lineup as the conference approaches.
Friday afternoon and evening is a great time to get an early look before the weekend crowds arrive. Many vendors offer specials exclusive to StaarCon 6, and Friday shoppers can browse at a relaxed pace while conference attendees are in workshops down the hall.
Why Visit Friday
First access to new decks, art, and limited-run items before they sell out
A quieter shopping experience compared to peak Saturday and Sunday hours
Chat directly with independent tarot readers, authors, and deck creators about their work
Casual conversation and refreshments available nearby in the Hospitality room during conference breaks
Open through 9 PM, so there's time to stop by after work or dinner
