Handmade Zombies and Lovers’ Prom

Indie South Fair hosts a Handmade Lovers artists’ market tonight at Little Kings, before the bar is taken over by the living dead for Zombie Prom. Say what you will about Valentine’s Day being an excuse to get your cat a present (right?), but Athens really has something for everyone. The market, along with other small markets ISF holds throughout the year, is a scaled-down version of the twice-yearly Indie South Fair that draws vendors and shoppers from around the region. Tonight’s market includes handmade cards and desserts, salon services, caricature artists and tarot card readings. Maybe some of the vendors will bring bottles of fake blood for last minute zombie prommers. The market lasts from 4–9 p.m., and the undead dance party follows, with local bands Monsoon, The Humms and The De Lux Interiors.
