Welcome to the heart of the Steampunk NZ Festival - our ambient Festival High Command nestled within historic Harbour Street's Cycle Journeys building!

The Festival High Command is your destination for all Festival information, merchandise, and to meet up with friends.  Take a moment to relax and recharge amidst the bustling energy, where the large tables offer a chance to sit and chat.
 
Indulge in a variety of quiet activities or strike a pose in our Festival photo booth. Be captivated by the ingenuity on display as you admire the entries for the Cabinet of Curiosity Challenge, each one a testament to the creativity and imagination of our community.
 
For those needing a change of attire, changing cubicles await to accommodate your outfit changes, ensuring you look your Steampunk freshest throughout the festivities.
 
This is also the location of the 2025 creative challenge, the spectacular Cabinet of Curiosity. Come and marvel at it!
 
Visiting the Festival High Command is an essential Festival activity.
