Andy Howl will baptize supplicants on stage and perform Satanic weddings ceremonies at the Cuban Club in Ybor City, Florida on Aug. 18, 2024.

Tampa Bay’s celebration of weird Florida is back at the Cuban Club in Ybor City, bringing with it the strangest of oddities alongside mind-fuckingly-weird taxidermy, metaphysical equipment, plus entertainment dead and alive.

The convention seems to have upped its game in 2024, too, booking big bands like Japanese comic hero Peelander-Z and bringing back the Black Sunday service by a priest from the Church of Satan.

A press release says Andy Howl will baptize supplicants on stage and perform Satanic weddings ceremonies (interested parties must register by Aug. 17).

“The performance is a personal, non-political, and non-spiritual affirmation of the supplicant’s earthly goals and desires,” the release added. “Satanism is an atheistic religion rooted in materialism, individuality, indulgence, and grounded in personal responsibility and the rejection of common spiritual ideas."

Tickets to Tabernacle of Oddities happening Saturday-Sunday, Aug. 17-18 at the Cuban Club in Ybor City are still available and start at $18.
