Steampunk

Steampunk cosplayer by John ChristouWe’re a Halloween Market AND a Steampunk event! Because Steampunk and Halloween go perfectly together. Plus, as the creators of The Steampunk World’s Fair, the International Steampunk City, and many other events, we have a special love in our heart for Steampunk. Here’s where we have guests, attractions, and blog posts specifically relating to Steampunk.

Are you looking to put on a Steampunk event of your own? Get in touch, we’ll be glad to give you some advice.

What makes a great Steampunk event? Well, Steampunk’s Mad Victorian Fantasy means that it can lend whimsy and imaginary possibilities to anything you do. For example, every Munchausen Storytelling game I’ve ever seen has been fairly ridiculous and wildly creative. Add Steampunk’s ridiculous take on retrofuture history, and you have a talemaking contest of epic proportions.

Now, I’ll take any Halloween candy you might have, but if there’s a bit of British penny-candy, perhaps a vendor selling nice bracing cups of pumpkin-spiced Halloween tea, I’ll be extra excited.

Come learn more about some of our Steampunk offerings!

Blackthorne Resort.

The Lovely Blackthorne, A Classic Catskills Resort in the Glory of Autumn

As the vibrant hues of autumn paint the surrounding Catskill Mountains in shades of crimson and gold, the resort transforms into a haven of relaxation and adventure, perfect for rejuvenating the soul and creating lasting memories.

The allure of the Blackthorne Resort begins with its warm hospitality and cozy accommodations. Imagine waking up in a rustic yet comfortable lodge room, where the crisp morning air carries the scent of fallen leaves and the promise of a day filled with exploration. Each room is designed to provide a peaceful sanctuary, allowing guests to unwind after a day of outdoor activities or simply enjoy the tranquil beauty of the resort grounds.

The Spellbinder Orchestra

The Spellbinder Orchestra

Spellbinder Orchestra is an intergenerational, bicoastal collective. Growing from the original repertoire of songstress Alzara Getz and the synergies of many amazing musicians, the group creates a unique blend of original folk rock with elements of classical, world, cabaret, rock, and eastern European. A sprinkling of high energy vintage covers from the 1920s onwards adds another layer of enchantment. Based in San Francisco, California, and the Hudson Valley, New York, Spellbinder shows are lively and theatrical, with intricate arrangements that move from rousing and joyful to thoughtful and dreamy. The band has appeared on numerous community radio shows, performed regularly at the SF Free Folk Fest, played at Burning Man Decompression, Edwardian Ball, and SXSW unofficial showcases.

Jeff Mach the entertainer

Steampunk Singer-Songwriter and Villain Jeff Mach

What makes Jeff Mach’s presence at the Catskills Halloween event so captivating? Perhaps it’s his ability to blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Or maybe it’s the mischievous glint in his eye—the mark of a true Villain. Whatever it is, attendees know they’re in for an unforgettable encounter.

For me, cosplay has always been about capturing the visual essence of the character and using it to bring joy to people.

The ancient art of Tea Dueling.

Steampunk Halloween Tea Dueling With The Lord of Misrule

Tea dueling, my dear friend, is not merely a sport but a genteel art form, steeped in tradition and drenched in the finest of brews. Picture this: a gathering of dapper individuals, adorned in top hats and corsets, at the Steampunk World’s Fair or a grand Halloween ball, all primed for a contest of wit and nerves over a cup of the finest Earl Grey or Darjeeling. It’s as British as a rainy day in London, with a dash of steam-powered flair.

Allow us to transport you to a genteel world, where you and yours have the opportunity to do honorable battle. This year, the Lord of Misrule brings you years of tea-dueling expertise as we gather around to dunk pastries, dossip, wear our finest finery and/or our favorite Halloween costumes and/or our Steampunk garb and/or pretty much whatever you want, because we’d like you to have a good time.

Meet your fellow guests! Take part in a Steampunk tradition! Get your Halloween weekend started the right way!

Now, imagine the scene: a polished wooden table adorned with lace doilies and an assortment of antique teacups, each brimming with the golden elixir. A hush falls over the crowd as competitors take their places, their monocles glinting in anticipation. The rules? Oh, they’re as intricate as a clockwork mechanism. Each duelist selects their weapon—the biscuit, that sacred dunking device—and plunges it into their tea for precisely five seconds. The goal? To daintily lift the biscuit to the lips without it crumbling into the tea, all while maintaining an air of unflappable composure.
