Steampunk the Thames
blasts in November 11-13
T
his successful annual Thames festival of
everything Steampunk not only builds on
itself with established costumes, props and
vehicles, the format of the festival ‘demands’
some viewer partcipation to be fully in on the
spendid spunky-punky fun of it all.
The programme this year includes a parade of
punked vehicles, a street circus and carnival,
a gala ball at the Bella Pump House Tech
Museum, a burlesque and a music hall, mini
train rides, talks by experts at the Thames
School of Mines, a banquet and Sunday
breakfast, and before-festival workshops to
help craft your outfit – plus competitions in art,
photography, sculpture, poetry and, yes – even
a Steampunk Selfie Contest!
One of the groups performing at an added
burlesque “early show” on Friday at 6:30 is The
Blue Sapphire Electroswing Collective, a
flamboyant group comprising of an electro-
swing DJ, vocalist, dazzling saxophonist and
stunning burlesque performers. Both shows are
slated at the Grahamstown Bar and Diner.
