River City Steampunk Expo

Steampunk lives in the light, but thrives in the shadows

May 31st - June 2nd 2024- Holiday Inn East, Hurstbourne

Welcome to the River City Steampunk Expo!

Steampunk in the Shadows is an interactive exploration into the dark side of the steam era. We bringing together the strange intersection of Gothic Horror and gothic Romance. Explore the Victorian fascination with the macabre; vampires, the cold terror of Jack the Ripper slipping through Whitechapel, women in flowing cotton night gowns walking down dark stairways carrying a lighted candelabra with eerie shadows and things unseen. Add the Victorian’s obsession with the afterlife; ghosts, seances, spirit photography and things that go bump under gaslight.
