TeslaCon-Steampunk Convention

Ready for an immersive experience you won't ever forget? TeslaCon, the largest immersion steampunk convention in North America, is back and celebrates its 16th year with a trip to the Wonderful Land of OZ! This year, teleport you back to 1896 into a realm of fantasy, and believe it or not, some very interesting Steampunk stories! With characters like Tik-Tok and the Wizard. Tickets are available for purchase here.

Come for the whole convention or just a day. There will be a Vendors' Room with vendors from more than 15 states showing off Steampunk wares and designs for purchase.

Schedule of Events

Over four days, TeslaCon offers more than 100 breakout sessions for attendees to explore. The schedule is packed with discussions, art workshops, educational lectures, games, demonstrations and more. Each is designed to immerse guests in the steampunk world and this year’s theme, The Wonderful Land of Oz.

Vendors

Explore a vendor hall with artists selling traditional steampunk wares, jewelry, clothing, leather goods, confections, and tea.
