Zombies, kissing alpacas and corsets, oh my! This year’s Brass Screw Consortium steampunk festival, June 12-14 in Port Townsend, WA, promises a plethora of prodigious performers and phantasmagorical wonders. A sword swallowing magician and his Traveling Spectacular, the buboes-curing Necrofessor, a boat bar on wheels, games of hilarity, burlesque and variety show, award winning bands including Blue Moon Marquee from Canada, green fairies and an absinthe tent, the Bodgers Grande Exhibition with celebrity Cog leader Josh Haazard and his scrapyard, the Bazaar of the Bizarre vendor park, Nerf wars, the Scuppermonkeys and Morris dancers, adult treasure hunt, the fantastical fashion show and more. All set in one of only three surviving Victorian-era seaports in the nation! This 19th-century town IS the venue. You want to be there. Get tickets and info here: https://brass-screw.org/
