Festival of Combustion - Daytime Ticket

Selected date

Saturday September 28

Selected time

1:00 PM  –  6:00 PM

Join Rivers of Steel in celebrating industrial arts and American craft at the Carrie Blast Furnaces. Showcasing the creativity and innovation of our region's artists, makers and builders, the day features blacksmithing and glass blowing demonstrations, along with the firing of raku ceramics and stations for welding, metal fabrication and even custom automotive work!

Headlining the demonstrations, Rivers of Steel's skilled foundry team will fire up the furnaces and smelt iron--a scaled down version of the industrial process Carrie is remembered for. Festival-goers can get involved by carving a scratch mold to be cast during the iron pour or glazing the raku-fired vases with Ton Pottery. New hands-on activities this year include Fiestaware Mosaics with The Ruins Project and free kids zone workshops for the little ones.

With craft beer, food trucks, live music, and an artisan marketplace, you won't want to miss Rivers of Steel's biggest event of the year!

The daytime ticket is valid from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m.  It does not include admission to the western courtyard for the evening activities, including fireworks, flame performances, and the evening concert presented by 91.3 WYEP, featuring Nikki Lane and the Ruen Brothers.
