2025 Event 

The Carnival of Peculiarities

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

Our third Wimmera Steampunk Festival promises to transform our township into a 19th-century carnival of wonder and, above all, welcoming.

Inspired by Tim Burton’s fantasy film, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, the theme for the next event is The Carnival of Peculiarities. You interpret what it means to be peculiar and express it in a steampunk costume. The Carnival of Peculiarities is about celebrating your uniqueness and creativity.
