Steampunk belly dancers and kapa haka performers entertained people at South Dunedin Weekend Festival events held at the Dunedin Gasworks Museum on Saturday.
People from as far as Christchurch travelled to South Dunedin for the festival, where elaborate costumes were on display alongside long-redundant pieces of machinery.
Ray Evans, of Milton, took along his working 99-year-old stationary engine to give young and old alike a chance to view a piece of history.
He said the engine arrived aboard a ship from England on April 24, 1939. Much work had been put into restoring the petrol engine.
Dunedin dancer Anna Walsh spent a good hour getting dressed for the occasion. In her dramatic black ensemble, she fitted in well with others embracing steampunk style.
Three steampunk belly dancers took to a makeshift carpet stage as family groups, couples and friends browsed craft stalls and sampled the array of food on offer.
Sunshine made for perfect festival conditions.
