“Thank you for joining us on a weekend of costumes, gadgets and steampunk imagination.”

A curious Fraser Coast had its First taste of steampunk in 2019 with hundreds plunging into the Jules Verne spirit of envisaging the future as the Victorians imagined it.

Since then, the Fraser Coast has contiued to celebrate its industrial heritage, Victoriana streetscapes and inherent fondness for costumes. We hope families can expand their steampunk experience by joining one of the beginners Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) workshops if they wish, or simply enjoy the heritage of Hervey Bay and Maryborough streetscapes at their leisure.

Alternatively, perhaps visiting local tourist attractions and restaurants?

At STEAMfesta Inc. our aim is to inspire ‘makers’ of all ages to dust off their tools, toys, welders, and sewing machines and exercise their brains, and chuckle muscles for a festival event like no other. We welcome cteativity, good manners, outrageous story-telling, humorous boasting and eccentric steampunk-themed apparel.

On the first Thursday of each month the STEAMfesta Workshop & Combat Robot Builders team meets at the Neighbourhood Hive in Hervey Bay to encourages imagination and creativity for all ages using S.T.E.A.M. as a theme (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Maths).

Check whats on at the Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Hive in the months ahead. https://www.hbnc.com.au/theneighbourhood-hive
