Southern Maine Steampunk Fair

It's back! The annual celebration of Steampunk and Victoriana happens this year on Saturday, August 10, from 11am to 4pm. Makers, artists, performers, lecturers and creators from throughout New England (and beyond) illustrate the world of steampunk. Not sure what "steampunk" is? What a great reason to visit! "Steampunk" is a view of the world through the lens of Victorian futurism - think of Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," or, more recently, Will Smith's version of "The Wild Wild West." The Museum's event celebrates the aesthetics, inventions, and creations of a future-world created by Victorian steam power. Tickets: $5 per person, $2 for Museum members; free for children under 12. Preliminary schedule and offerings: Live music throughout the day by O'hAnleigh! Steam-powered picnic lunch for sale by For the Love of Food & Drink Tintypes created onsite by AgNo3 Lab Hourly Programs: 11:30am: Tea Duel with the The Guild of Extraordinary Gentlewomen 12:30pm: Author talk by Leanna Renee Hieber! 1:00pm: Steampunk High Tea (tickets should be purchased in advance for this special offering, $30 per person.
