Building a Community

Founded by Michelle and Tony Cozzaglio in Oklahoma, the Oddities and Curiosities Expo began as a response to the community's growing demand for such unique gatherings. As Michelle put it, "We created this expo to give odd small businesses and artists a space where they can thrive." Their mission is clear: curate an environment where individuals can embrace their quirks and share their passions with like-minded enthusiasts.

With its strong emphasis on a DIY ethos and a commitment to excellence, the expo has seen impressive growth, touring across 40 cities in the U.S. and Canada throughout 2025. The Cozzaglios are dedicated to providing attendees with the best possible experience, focusing on quality exhibitors and unique entertainment.

Workshops and Classes

For those wishing to delve deeper into the world of oddities, ticket holders are welcome to participate in special classes designed to expand their knowledge. Attendees can purchase tickets for a full-day taxidermy class or an insect pinning class, led by Heather Clark of Sleeping Sirens. Participants will work with ethically sourced specimens and learn critical techniques within these specialized fields.

It's important to note that all animals used in these classes and showcased at the expo are sourced ethically and have died of natural causes, ensuring a responsible approach to the unique materials involved.
