FLASH GIVEAWAY: Family Steampunk Carnivale at The Orange Empire Railway Museum, March 21-22!

Steampunk Carnival
Bring friends and the entire family to celebrate the fantasy, history and ingenuity behind Steampunk on March 21 and 22 at the Orange Empire Railway Museum.

The Iron Horse/Family Steampunk Carnivale celebrates the future of the past.  It pays homage to the Victorian Era, Edwardian science fiction and the Industrial Revolution with a real, live steam-powered locomotive being the perfect backdrop.

According to Wikipedia, “Steampunk began as a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy literature, but has developed in recent years to become a craft and lifestyle movement that commonly features some aspect of steam-powered machinery.  Although its literary origins are sometimes associated with cyberpunk, steampunk is often inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century.

At the Iron Horse/Family Steampunk Carnivale enjoy the quirky Victorian-flavored hip hop of Poplock Holmes and the magical medicine show of Dr. Solar.  At an evening concert, experience the mesh of mime and music of Steam Powered Giraffe.

Other activities and displays include:

  • Steam locomotive and vintage trolley rides
  • Steampunk artisans displaying jewelry, handiworks and steam-driven contraptions and imaginative gadgets
  • Steampunk/Victorian era fashion show and costume contest
  • Steampunk workshops
  • High Tea in a vintage dining rail car (extra fee)
  •  Victorian age steam-powered car

  • From 9 am to 5 pm the price is $15 for ages 12 and up, $10 ages 5 – 11, ages 4 and under are FREE.
