Victorian Fashion Takeover at the San Francisco Dungeon

Finally, a chance to whip out those tea gowns, corsets and bustles. (Guys, dust off those waistcoats, cravats and bowler hats.) Transport back to Victorian days nights at the San Francisco Dungeon on September 16th. The special Wicked Wednesday event at the themed attraction will be like a Dickens Fair, Edwardian Ball and Steampunk convention all rolled into one.

We know that heading to tourist-heavy Fisherman's Wharf is probably not part of your regular social repertoire. However, this late-night, 21+, hour-long outing seems worthy of the trek. Hey, if nothing else, it's a chance to dress up in costume post Burning Man.

You'll begin (and end) the night with a complimentary "shot of courage" and then walk through the darker—sometimes scary, sometimes funny—parts of San Francisco's interesting 19th century past. The venue provides a fully immersive experience with 360-degree sets, special effects and theatrical actors.

Choose a time slot from 8pm to 10pm and purchase your tickets for Victorians in the Dungeon online. (This link will take you to the VIP page with discounted pricing.) Last thing: No Scrooges allowed.
