Key City Steampunk

Looking for something you won't find at your local mall?

One of the things that makes Key City Steampunk Presents: Worlds of Tomorrow special is the incredible collection of artists, makers, authors, and merchants who transform our vendor hall into a marketplace of wonders. Whether you've been here before or simply curious about what makes our community unique, you'll find handcrafted treasures, imaginative creations, and unforgettable conversations around every corner.

Allow us to present Jenny Dang, proprietor of Dang Good Leather — a q***r, enby-femme Asian artisan operating from a modest Maryland workshop, where each article of leather is wrought entirely by hand. Their specialty wares at this engagement comprise hand-moulded and hand-painted flowers in galaxy and solid colourways, as well as bracelets of intricate weave, hand-stitched and wrapped in the coils of dragons. They fashion singular accoutrements for gentlefolk, misfits, and weirdos of every persuasion — uniquely crafted pieces intended to be carried, used, scuffed, and treasured. Should you carry a piece of theirs into the world, may it serve you faithfully and grow handsomer with every passing year.

Come to Gettysburg, this August 7 through the 9th, to acquire one of these unique treasures for yourself, while enjoying bands, workshops, entertainment and SO MUCH MORE. website link in the comments

There's also chocolate!

We’re delighted to welcome back Open Book Chocolates to Key City Steampunk Presents: Worlds of Tomorrow this August 7th thru the 9th at Wyndham Gettysburg!

Open Book Chocolates is a small, Maryland-based, women-owned business specializing in handmade, bean-to-bar, fair trade, craft chocolate bars with literary-inspired flavors. Open Book Chocolates is a marriage between two passions: literature and chocolate. Food can be a powerful instrument in storytelling, from the bilberries Jane Eyre gathers on the heath to the ever-present tea shared by Holmes and Watson. Our signature flavors embody the stories, characters, and themes of our favorite classics.

Check out Open Book Chocolates along with all our delicious Vendors, Guests, and more on the website (link in the comments) and over on the Con-Track App!
