2018 Steampunk NZ Festival

The annual Steampunk NZ Festival is a four-day celebration with vaudeville, music, and markets, food, splendid teapot racing, airships, tea duelling, and much more madness. A highlight is the fashion show at the elegant Oamaru Opera House - "Moments in Time", a series of short theatre pieces that tell of futures as they might have been. The weekend closes in style with a magnificent Gala Ball.

Arrive in costume, or just enjoy the fabulous clothes, hats, goggles, sci-fi accessories and inventions.  Oamaru’s historic Victorian Precinct is the perfect backdrop for this quirky celebration, the longest-running Steampunk event in the Southern Hemisphere.

MC for the main events of the weekend is the one and only Jackie Clarke, a celebrity, beautiful, witty and all-around fun lady who gets right into the swing of things.

If you would like to enter the “Moments in Time” Fashion Show, let us know, even if you aren’t quite ready to move ahead.  Visit https://www.steampunknz.co.nz/ for more information, or contact@steampunk.org.nz .  Our team is ready to advise and assist you with your entry.  

We are already scheduling an engaging programme of workshops.  Tell us what topics would interest you, or if you would like to lead a workshop.  contact@steampunk.org.nz or visit us on Facebook @Steampunk NZ Festival

The finest dressed, the most fantastic sci-fi accessories and the most friendly, welcoming people, all having fun in the natural Steampunk backdrop of Oamaru's Victorian architecture.   Come for the Festival events and stay on to enjoy more of the wonderful Waitaki District.
