Friday Evening Welcome Reception (19+) 8PM Saturday: 10AM Saturday Night: 8PM (19+) Sunday: 11AM

The premiere steampunk event in the Dominion of Canada is back for a fourth year in Victoria, British Columbia. Where previous years have been encased in palaces of cut-crystal and gleaming brass, this year it's the back-alleys of the 19th century colonial capital which are brought to the fore: after-hours corners and upstairs dives where the paths of explorers and inventors cross with those of airship pirates & courtesans.

The weekend is wrapped around Alleyways: An Alternative Reality Game / scavenger hunt specially designed for this event � sending the braver of attendees through brick alleys, half-forgotten nooks, and opulent lodges of secret societies in pursuit of treasure-unlocking puzzle-clues. At the Exposition's old-brick 1909 headquarters there will be merchants, outfitters, panels, artists and authors, speakers and performers, history lections, and craft activities for families.

The evening gives way to a 19+ Steampunk Cabaret Burlesque, a costume ball and raucous dance suited for this year's theme of discretion, decadence, deviousness & debauchery.

Stay tuned for Cabaret line up, scavenger-hunt sign up, sponsors and merchants list, and schedule. Several very exciting announcements busting in the wings!
