Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Sci-fi took a right turn at the Victorian Age and never moved on – and the result was steampunk, a cult genre that's here to stay. And that's particularly true in Denver, where steampunk fans gather each year at AnomalyCon for a stellar weekend of cosplay, guest panels, parties and contests. Photographer Danielle Lirette brought back these images and more from the 2016 convention.
Now see the full AnomalyCon 2016 slideshow.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
