Key city steampunk convention is one of the premeire east coast conventions. Each year the convention takes on a new theme, using the steampunk aesthetic as a starting point. We pride ourselves on being a safe and welcoming event for all fandoms, from anime to science fiction to horror, there is a place for you. This year’s theme is fantasy, leaning into the fantastic realms of noble knights, dark wizards, dragons, and the occasional wereowl. Regardless of the theme, there are some things you will always find here in key city.
