What's New for 2025?
This year we have added Robot Racing and we will be having our food trucks in a single area creating a food court.
We have split our scavenger hunt into two seperate events so our guests can pick up their prizes before they leave. We are adding a sample of "The Enchanted Forest" in Templin Gardens where you can play relax with a cup a tea and watch some Tea Dueling hosted by The Toronto Steampunk Society.
There will be a schedule of some of our artists doing discussions and demonstrations in their booths.
