So when I heard that Darkside After Dark is returning on Feb. 28, 2026, it definitely sparked my interest. Darkside After Dark returns to Edison, NJ this FebruaryDarkside After Dark takes over the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center in Edison from 3 to 10 p.m., offering a twilight dive into the weird, the strange, and the macabre. It’s New Jersey’s premier gathering for all things dark and unconventional, featuring live music and stage performances, live tattooing and piercing, eerie roaming entertainers, charity photo ops, and even a Darkside food truck court outside. Shortly after we moved into our house, we started noticing a few strange things. And maybe that’s why events like Darkside After Dark in Edison resonate—even with skeptics like me.
