The Wimmera Steampunk Festival blends Victoriana and Imagination. Set in the 19th-century railway town of Dimboola, the event celebrates the weird and wonderful. People of the Wimmera and beyond come together through creativity, festivities and an appreciation of 19th-century aesthetics.

Step into a reimagined Dimboola, a 19th-century Carnival of Peculiarities, where you are both a spectator and part of the spectacle. Diversity and inclusion are celebrated. Engage with street performers, marvel at stilt walkers, and be fascinated by fantastic mechanical contraptions. Get your fortune read, challenge yourself at Pinball Alley, or explore various entertainment options leisurely. It’s a night of pure escapism and imagination. The Carnival of Peculiarities is about celebrating your uniqueness and creativity.

There will be three stages: bands, performers and illusionists, food and drink vendors, exhibitions, and ribbon acrobatics. A children’s lantern procession will open the event.
