Festival of Combustion
Join Rivers of Steel in celebrating industrial arts and American crafts at the Carrie Blast Furnaces. Showcasing the creativity of our region’s artists, makers, and builders, the Festival of Combustion takes inspiration from the iron-making legacy of the Carrie Blast Furnaces. An all-day iron pour is at the heart of the festival!
Check out demonstrations by blacksmiths, glassblowers, welders, and metal fabricators and more. Get creative with hands-on activities for all. After dark, check out a glowing ceramic reveal, followed by fireworks over the furnaces.
Tours, live music, food trucks, and a makers’ marketplace round out the experience. It’s a day of fun for everyone!
Tickets are $20 in advance; kids under 18 are free.
