STEAMPUNK & TIME TRAVELER WEEKEND
Gather your gadgets, gears, and goggles, and join us in your finest time-traveling attire! No matter which century you portray, join us to celebrate a leap back (or forward) in time!
Best Hand-Made Steampunk Costume Contest: To enter, sign up at the Guest Services Gazebo by 1:45 p.m. Saturday or Sunday then join your fellow contestants (check stage schedule for location and time) to show off your finery for the judges. The winners will receive tickets to return to the Faire!
Pop-Up Absinthe Bar: Enjoy two Absinthe bars this weekend, one near the Lord Mayor’s Forum and one at the Queen’s Indulgence Pub. And, if you’re feeling extra adventurous, order a ‘Flaming Absinthe’ cocktail at the “It’s 5 O’Clock” pub located near the Castle Keep Stage! As Oscar Wilde famously said, “A glass of absinthe is as poetical as anything in the world. What difference is there between a glass of absinthe and a sunset?”
