UnWoman (AKA Erica Mulkey) performed at the first Chicago Steampunk Exposition back in 2019 and we are excited to see her return to the Exposition this June. If you are huge fan of UnWoman, you should consider purchasing the UnWoman VIP Ticket.
A few VIP tickets remain available! Join Gail Carriger, Leanna Renee Hieber, or musical artist UnWoman for VIP cocktails on Friday, sit at their banquet table on Saturday, and share a spot of High Tea with them on Sunday, plus a number of other great advantages that come with the VIP packages.
