The Goth Bats Nashville  are happy to announce the 3rd Goth and Alternative Swap and Sale is a go! We are teaming up with Cyanide Cider  and sponsor Pretty Grungy  to bring you an ALL-AGES  market for the fall of 2025. SAVE THE DATE for Sunday, September 28th from 12 pm – 6 pm !  Proceeds from the swap to go to *2 charities* TBD!

The Bats are excited to finally be able to make the swap an ALL AGES event! So, come out to shop an eclectic selection of gothic clothing, footwear, and accessories and bring your Baby Bats along ! Our swap is akin to a boutique experience! In addition to our typical boutique experience, you can expect spooky drink specials, and some fashion surprises in store from designer Pretty Grungy!

How the swap works:
You donate your GENTLY USED and NEW gothic and alternative clothing to us and get Bat Bucks in exchange to spend on new items at the swap! Let’s reuse and recycle!! 

How the Bat Buck ticket exchange program works:
□ We will be taking both grocery AND trash bags of donations this year!
□ 1 donated standard 7 gal grocery bag = 1 Bat Buck worth $13 off your total purchase 
□ 1 donated standard 13 gal trash bag = 2 Bat Bucks worth $26 off your total purchase 
□ At max you may donate enough to receive *6 Bat Bucks*
□ Bat Bucks are not eligible to redeem with Pretty Grungy Clothing!
