Galveston Steampunk Festival

For those wondering what on Earth happened to Steampunk: Galveston, Texas would like to say, “Hold my Absinthe!”

While the retro-future sci-fi subgenre has moved to the coast, it’s far from retired. The Galveston Steampunk Festival offers something for everyone, including authors, entertainment, live demonstrations, games, vendors, presenters, train rides, mansion tours, a pub crawl, and much more!

Chug over to the Galveston Railroad Museum to time travel through machines, performances, music, costumes, lectures, and thensome. The extensive history of mechanical innovation displayed at the Galveston Railroad Museum embodies the steampunk spirit. Galveston was built by Victorian industrialists, who used new machines and new fabrication methods to drive economic development.

Step back in time to the industrial history that informs our curiosity today on the island town that acts a perfect backdrop! Come revel in retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics inspired by good ol’ 19th-century steam-power.
