Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn- October 24, 2009 marks the Second Annual Steampunk Day at Brooklyn Indie Market, an emerging designer market, from 11-7 and Fashion Show at 4pm. Take the F/G to the Carroll Street Station.

With a week before Halloween, this is an opportunity for grownups to have their day of dress up and make-believe. Retro Futurism descends upon Carroll Gardens under the red and white striped tent on the corner of Smith and Union Street and spills out into the street with a Steampunk Fashion Show at 4pm.

What is Steampunk you say? We asked fashion show coordinator Britney of Berit New York, “In short, Steampunk is science-fiction as it could have been envisioned during the Victorian Era which draws inspiration from countless cultures and nations across the world.”

Don your goggles and corsetry, transport yourself over to The Way Station, Brooklyn’s first Steampunk Bar and performance venue for an after party, located in Prospect Heights at 685 Washington Avenue, Steampunk performances and libations, doors open at 8 pm. 2/3 Brooklyn Museum, A/C Washington Ave or Q 7th Ave.
