Punk Rock Santa is a legend at the Market of Curiosities. His heart is so big that everyone who meets him starts headbanging to its 180 BPM pure punk tempo. He brings his very own punk genre, HollyJollyJoy-Core, to all at the MOC. However, Punk Rock Santa's HollyJollyJoy-Core is more than just reserved for our market. In May of this year, our Santa gave the most hardcore gift ever when he wrapped up his Kidney, pushed it down UPMC's chimney, and saved a life.

From the moment we met Punk Rock Santa, we knew he was the coolest member of Saint Nick's family. Relying on his punk rock ethos, this Santa doesn't give out gifts drenched in consumerism, No! He gave his f$%king Kidney. You can not find that on Amazon!

So, we're celebrating Punk Rock Santa this year by donating some of our proceeds to UPMC Pinnacle Foundation. Additionally, in Punk Rock Santa's booth, he will be accepting donations for the foundation.

We're thrilled to bring you the 2023 Market of Curiosities this Saturday from 11:00 - 6:00 at the Carlisle Expo Center, and we are hoping that you'll visit Punk Rock Santa, get your annual selfies, and donate a few bucks to the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation.

We're giving free tote bags featuring our 2023 design to the first 100 people in line. This year's design was done by the phenomenal Aron Rook.
