The Midway – A Game Is Afoot!

Posted on by

A test of chance,
A test of luck,
What’s the worst?
You lose a buck?

That’s right, the Midway isn’t just about jugglers, fire breathers, fire jugglers, juggle eaters, clowns, tightrope walkers, and destroyers of everything that you see as real…

We also have games!

So come on down to the Midway during the Steampunk World’s Faire and try your hand at these games that are sure to thrill and make you feel like a real human being. Whether its a simple ball in a hoop or cornholing (It’s not what you think, look it up) you are guaranteed to find something that you are good at.

Take a listen to what those fine hawkers tell you, but don’t believe em’. I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s their job to make you so angry that you HAVE to test your luck and skill at the games. They’ll tell you anything that they think will get you over to the shadiest part of the Steampunk Midway in the hopes that you lose your shirt.

The secret is… get this…. you CAN win at these games. We know you’re good enough and strong enough. We know that the only thing between you and the biggest grandest prize on the Midway is just the fact that you don’t have a ticket to play the games with. Well the only way to fix that is to find yourself a ticket and prove that loud and mean ol’ barker wrong. Let them know that you are not one to be trifled with, and the Midway is yours to command!

You can do it, pop a balloon, sink a ball, sink your time and your wallet into the fabulous and magical Steampunk Midway!

Circus Entertainment Beyond Your Imagination!

What is a circus without performers?  What is a Midway without its own sort of flavor?  If you want flavor, this group of circus performers are going to give it to you in spades, take your hearts, wielding clubs, and steal your diamonds.  We promise you, they really are a bunch of cards…

That isn’t to say that the Troupe LaDeDa is a band of criminals, far from it.  They are some of New Jersey’s foremost educators in the circus arts, and high-octane performers in their own right!

Troupe LaDeDa shall hoop, light, juggle, and cycle through the Midway, making eyes twinkle, and the world dance in ways it has never before.  Brought to the Steampunk World’s Fair with thanks to The Circus Place, this flock of fine fheatrical philanthropists will not only be adding to the flavor of the Midway, but will be teaching the basics of the Circus skills that you might need out there in the midst of time! Make sure you not only see them dazzle and amaze, but stop by their caravan and learn a thing or two about a thing or two.

We honor the great circuses of the 19th century. Even if their producers were clearly insane.

Even throughout the history that wasn’t, there’s a place where the vagrants of society have found a place to call their home. As you step outside of the Steampunk Worlds Faire, you may hear the shouts of excitement, the heat of the flames that rise to the sky, and the barker announcing to anyone that will listen…

“Come one come all to the magic and brass. Steam is not the only thing that powers our dreams. There are sights to be seen, dreams to behold, coin to be cashed, and your eyes to exploit. So oogle with your goggles, lay your jetpacks aside, and much like the victims of your Bulb-Laden-Tesla-Coiled Phasers…. you will be stunned!”

Welcome to the Midway.

Walk the aisles and have your future told while your fortune’s taken. Try your luck at a game of chance. How about a show on the side? Watch out though, not all is what it seems here in this place that is the place between your mind and your wallet.

There’s one born every minute, and we are so glad you showed up.

Featured on the center stage, the Steampunk Midway is proud to present the Bacchus Brothers Cabaret & Sideshow. They are the singing, dancing, nail through the nose that you haven’t been expecting. Hailing through time and arriving outside of it, the Bacchus Bros have promised a show that shall not be forgotten.

Come one. Come all. The Steampunk Midway is coming whether you show up or not.
