ABOUT ENCHANTED CITY
This will be the opening event for the 3rd Annual Echanted City Festival in Troy, NY. Last years festival was estimated at 4500 attendees and this year is projected at over 5000 over the course of the weekend of August 26 to 28. The fairytale of the future and past will be revealed the historic streets of Troy. An urban spectacle of invention, imagination, theater and magic dressed in Cogs and Corsets. A Victorian faire with Maker Flair. Join Queen Mab and her entourage for our third year which promises to be a pageant etonnante!

The Enchanted City is a free event, open to the public. There will be a charge for the fashion show event which is expected to sell out.

Our event draws upon the unique aspects of Troy which honors our Victorian/Industrial heritage, while highlighting our emerging creative economy and technology sector. It has a rich history with a walkable historic district. We are on the cutting edge of the tech sector, and are creative and visual.
