Grand ambassadors' Ball
Sunday, 31 May 2026, 7.30pm
Oamaru Club Inc, 32 Severn Street

Inviting Steampunk VIPs from Frontiers and Realms far and wide to celebrate the finale of the 2026 Steampunk NZ Festival.

 

Adorn yourself in magnificent Ceremonial Regalia, Steampunk gowns and finery to represent your chosen Frontier or Realm with pagentry and pomp.

 

You are invited as a VIP in an Ambassadorial role, so buff up your medals and tiaras, chose a persona, and join the fun!   

 

When booking your ticket you must include how you wish to be formally announced by the ‘herald’ when entering the ballroom. Please specify titles and honorifics – plenipotentiary, emperor, lord, grand vizier, or so on - and the Frontier or Realm you represent.

 

An example would be: Agent Darling of the League of Victorian Imagineers 

 

The doors will open at 7.30 pm. Music from 8pm 

 

Choose your preferred table from the floor plan when booking your tickets. 

 

Grazing platters will be waiting on your tables, and sweet treats served later in the night, along with the awards and prize announcements, and of course the reveal of the much anticipated theme for the Steampunk NZ Festival 2027!

 

Dance the night away to the rhythms of Dee May and The Saints, still sizzling from their performance at the recent Harbour Street Jazz and Blues Festival. 

 

A courtesy van will operate to get you all home safely. 

 

Tickets $110 per person.
