Big River Steampunk Festival

Date & Time:

August 29, 2025 @ 12:00 am CDT - September 1, 2025 @ 2:00 pm CDT
Big River Steampunk Festival is a 4-day event during Labor Day weekend that attracts over 20,000 people.
This year, the festival will be celebrating its 11th Annual Big River Steampunk Festival.
We are trying to grow the Wasteland every year. This year we are having a Rave in the Streets on Friday Night August 29th.

We have an event called Wasteland Olympics during the daytime that weekend, Foam Sword fighting events (Thunderfoam), plus Costume Contests Saturday and Sunday.

Skills are an important part of survival in the Steam Wastes!! Do you have what it takes to prosper?

Come try your hand at Wasteland Olympics, a challenging “Triathlon” style test of common life saving Wasteland skills….

Which skills you ask? Well, to bad, if you wanna know show up and find out…. What fun would it be if I told you? 🤪

There will be three stages to complete and the winner will have the fastest time. And trophies will be given!!

Come give it a try and find out if you can handle what the Steam Wastes dish out!!
Saturday August 30th at 3pm and Sunday August 31st at 3pm in the Steam Wastes☠️🔥

The Block Party will be on Friday night this year, so not to compete with other popular events! We will have the lovely Miss Casey Ablaze, to open the party!🔥

Friday Night Block Party in the Steam Wastes: Special Guest Casey Ablaze

This will be the 3rd Steam Wastes Block Party, and i hope it will be the biggest so far!! Let’s line the streets with Heathens!!

This event is currently BYOB, but I hope to work something out with one of the beverage vendors that attend the festival.

While as always the Steam Wastes are open to all ages, I do want to state that there will be LOUD MUSIC, FLASHING LIGHTS, SMOG MACHINES, ADULT BEVERAGES, and LOTS OF STRANGE PEOPLE😉. It may be best for the Mom’s and Dad’s to come out and have a night out “thumpin” without the “dumplins”…..

The Festival itself has Steampunk, Wasteland, and Renaissance sections all connected, making the festival stretch through the entire historic downtown.

The webpage is www.bigriversteampunkfestival.com , there people can look up all of the events throughout the whole festival.

Bands, workshops, games, vendors, as well as a costume contest! This all ages area will bring post-apocalyptic fun for everyone!
