GO Art! cancels Steampunk Fest

KNOWLESVILLE – The Genesee-Orleans Regional Art announced that the Steampunk Festival planned for today and Saturday has been cancelled.

GO Art! was attempting to bring back the festival. The organization has contacted vendors, entertainment and ticket holders with the news.

UPDATE: GO Art! posted this statement on its social media this afternoon:

“After much consideration, we are heartbroken to share that the Steampunk Festival has been cancelled.

To our incredible ticket holders: please check your email for important updates regarding your tickets.

As a nonprofit organization, we want to be transparent: events like this are only possible because of the income they generate. Every vendor fee, ticket sale, and sponsorship goes directly toward covering expenses such as entertainment, insurance, rentals, staffing, and so much more. When plans change, it creates significant challenges—and we deeply appreciate your understanding, patience, and empathy for the nonprofit world.

We cannot thank you enough for the support, excitement, and energy you’ve already poured into this event. While we’re devastated to make this announcement, we’re committed to continuing our mission of bringing arts and culture to our community in meaningful ways.

Thank you for standing with us through both the celebrations and the challenges.”
