After years of planning weddings, coordinating private celebrations, and supporting events across Connecticut, Porchlight; An Event Company is officially stepping into something new.

We’re excited to announce that we have officially secured the venue for our very first public event experience.

For years, Porchlight has operated behind the scenes helping couples, families, businesses, and organizations bring their visions to life through weddings, private parties, productions, staffing, and immersive event support. Public events have always been part of the long-term vision for the company — creating experiences that are not only memorable, but interactive, atmospheric, and community-driven.

Now, that vision is becoming reality.

Our first public event, Edgar’s Odditorium, is currently in development and will take place on September 27th, 2027 in Torrington, Connecticut at Market Street Creatives. The event is being designed as more than just a traditional vendor market. Instead, we’re aiming to create a fully immersive environment inspired by oddities, gothic aesthetics, curiosity shops, vintage horror, and the atmosphere surrounding the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

Guests can expect a carefully curated experience featuring artists, oddities vendors, creators, tarot readers, collectors, atmospheric lighting, themed décor, entertainment, and interactive elements throughout the venue. Our goal is to create something that feels unique to Northwest Connecticut- an event where attendees can walk through the doors and feel like they’ve stepped into another world.

Securing the venue marks a huge moment for Porchlight. While the company has spent years producing and supporting events for clients, this is the first time we are producing a large-scale public experience entirely under the Porchlight brand. It’s exciting, a little intimidating, and a major step forward for our team.

As a veteran-owned company based in Torrington, community has always been at the center of what we do. One of our biggest priorities with Edgar’s Odditorium is creating opportunities for local artists, creators, small businesses, performers, and niche vendors to connect with new audiences in a setting that feels creative, welcoming, and collaborative.

We’re still finalizing many of the details, including vendor selection, entertainment, immersive experiences, sponsorships, and additional event features- but this milestone makes everything feel very real.

To everyone who has shared our posts, reached out about participating, offered advice, or expressed excitement about the concept already: thank you. The support so far has been incredible, and we can’t wait to continue bringing this experience to life.

Additional announcements, vendor information, sponsorship opportunities, and event updates will be released over the coming weeks through Porchlight’s social media channels and website.
