I’ve always been captivated by Steampunk.
It may be because of my adoration for the fusion of futuristic ideas and thrilling escapades. I’m a genuine enthusiast of science fiction narratives, and attending the Steampunk Festival in Oamaru is a must.
I take great pleasure in admiring the ingenuity displayed in the costumes and vehicles showcased there.

What is the Point of Steampunk?
Steampunk Festival represents a creative social movement influenced by Victorian and pre-war history.
It integrates science fiction, modern values, and a sense of fun in an anachronistic mix, inviting individuals worldwide to explore their imaginative spirit.
Who started steampunk?
Jules Verne and H.G. Wells are frequently cited as its earliest progenitors, but its name comes from a letter that novelist K. W. Jeter wrote to Locus in 1987.
This restricts the “first wave” of American Steampunk. During the 1990s, it remained a tiny fanboy culture based mainly on science fiction and graphic novels.
Why is Oamaru a steampunk?
With its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, the Victorian precinct in Oamaru features intricate details and ornate facades that offer a captivating backdrop for the Steampunk genre, evoking an alternative version of 19th-century England.
