From May 15-17, The Steampunk World’s Fair will be “firing up pistons and stoking the blast furnace” for a sixth year in Piscataway, New Jersey. Presenting activities for the entire family (including Gailia’s Slightly Perilous Children’s Wonderland for the younger kids) split between two hotels and beyond, this year’s fest will be inhabited by craftspeople, costumers, artists, writers, musicians, circus performers and more – all creating a magical experience steeped in Victorian Sci-Fi.
