What is steampunk you say? Steampunk personality, August Wahnsinger says, “Steampunk is Victorian-era science fiction. Anything that can be envisioned as a part of a scientifically advanced ‘steam’ era can be properly described as steampunk. Steampunk finds its origins in literature, going back to the works of Mary Shelley, Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.”

The highlight of the shopping event is a Steampunk Fashion Show at 4 p.m., coordinated by Brit Frady-Williams of Berit New York and featuring steampunk designers such as:

• Ami Nyitray Designs (www.etsy.com/shop/aminyitray), curiosities and wearable wunderkammer
