Now that’s a theme name with some swagger to it. Clockwork Alchemy runs Rogue Makers and Air Pirates for three days in Redwood City, October 16 to 18, and I’d book the weekend just to see who takes it seriously enough to show up with a boarding cutlass and an actual grapple hook.
Strathearn Park in Simi Valley runs its Gears and Gizmos invention contest as part of Steampunk at Strathearn on October 3 and 4. Axemann Brewery in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania hosts Maker Faire Happy Valley the same weekend. The University of Louisville’s Speed School holds Louisville Maker Faire on October 17. Orleans County Fairgrounds in Albion, New York runs the Shakesbeer Steampunk Festival that same day, and the name alone earns it a spot on the list.
