🖤🕷️ HeXenfest 2026 Vendor Announcement 🕷️🖤

Get ready to add some ink to your Samhain celebration! We are excited to welcome Skyler Klingensmith of Skyline Studios to HeXenfest 2026: Return of the Witch!

Skyler will be offering flash tattoos ranging from $50 to $100, giving you the perfect opportunity to take home a little permanent Halloween magic!

📍 Skyler will be set up outside in his own tent, so be sure to stop by and check out his flash designs!

How it works: Tattoos are first come, first served. A sign-up sheet will be available, and the next person in line will receive a text approximately 15 minutes before their turn to allow time for stenciling and preparation.

🖤 HeXenfest 2026: A Cause Close to Our Hearts 🖤

We are honored to welcome the Cambria County Su***de Prevention Task Force to HeXenfest 2026, alongside Katrina Perkosky, Director of Donor Services for the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, whose motto is Give back. Move ahead.

Several members will be onsite to connect with attendees, offer support, and provide a compassionate presence for anyone who may need someone to talk to.

This cause is deeply personal to both Alyssa and me. At HeXenfest, we will be honoring our dear friends Antoinette “Toni” Hanik and Iya Medile, whom we lost to su***de two years ago.

We chose this organization as the beneficiary of a portion of HeXenfest proceeds in their memory. We want their lives to be remembered, their names to be spoken, and their impact to continue through something that may help others.

Mental health matters. Su***de prevention matters. And no one should feel they have to face their struggles alone.

Please join us in remembering Toni and Iya and supporting the work being done right here in our community. 🖤
