The Great Pan- Kinetic Exposition is a family friendly event showcasing a snapshot of the United States during a time of exciting innovations and fantastic personalities. The year is 1905; Theodore Roosevelt is President and shares the public scene with the likes of Albert Einstein, Sara Bernhardt, Harriet Tubman, and George Washington Carver. Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison are battling it out in the war of AC vs. DC in the race to power America. Harry Houdini is entertaining the masses with his incredible feats of prestige and illusion. We will have them all under one roof in an incredible event that will draw the interest and patronage of people from every walk of life into an age of incredible new possibilities.

Held at the Waterfront in Vallejo California, the location is a tried and true venue that pulls from the entire greater Bay area. Nestled between two major highways and sitting directly beside the ferry from San Francisco, we have seen crowds of thirty five thousand in number in one weekend with an event at the same location.
The inventors and artisans selling and exhibiting inventions, works of art and incredible ideas for the “far off future” will have the opportunity to showcase wares that are Edwardian, late Victorian, and true Steampunk in nature. This two day event will begin with the arrival of American royalty when Teddy Roosevelt arrives by Model-T Ford. Our President will arrive to the music of a local brass band, perhaps from one of the local schools. He will take the bandstand and greet the crowd.

As an exciting and dynamic Bay Area event with a theme that appeals to a wide audience, a family event often puts a strain on the family budget. The Great Pan-Kinetic Exposition will attract great media attention by keeping our ticket price low and the entertainment and educational value high. The adult themes are not watered down to be friendly towards a younger audience; they are instead an adult theme of a different and gentler era. As a juxtaposition, the children’s themes appeal to both young and old because what was perceived as children’s entertainment in the early 1900’s is today fascinating to both the young and not quite so young alike.

The Great Pan-Kinetic Exposition is a “total immersion” event where costumed personalities of the past mingle with and greet guests throughout. Where else would you be able to meet the President of the United States of America as he is sitting down to see new feats of illusion done by the great Harry Houdini?
Audience members are encouraged to dress in the time period of the event, encouraging conversations with the personalities that they might meet. Sarah Bernhardt and Annie Oakley, two of the era’s greatest female entertainers will stand beside Susan B Anthony and Mme. Marie Curie, two of the era’s most influential women. Two literary greats, H.G. Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle, might be found in conversation with the Wright Brothers while Albert Einstein tips his hat to them in passing. The possibilities are endless at this event, before the customer even gets to the stage!
Onstage, vaudeville acts and master illusionists will amuse and amaze, while great western performers thrill with their feats of daring-do. Twirl your moustache or show off your chapeau as your learn the newest steps at the afternoon “tea dance”. The new “moving pictures” like George Melies’ fantastical “Trip to the Moon” will astonish and brilliant inventors will thrill all assembled with their “new” discoveries.

More Adult Fare – The Evening Show
Satire is the right hand of burlesque.~ Voltaire

Burlesque entertainment was born in England in the early 19th century and evolved to include broad satire, music and comedy, as well as tantalizing temptresses we all think of. San Francisco has become the hub of the neo-burlesque movement, boasting some of the most talented acts in the country. Incorporating our ties to this community and creating a thrilling burlesque circus, the evening show will draw a crowd of enthusiasts and the newly interested, curious to see the old school form of this entertainment take form. Audiences will have the opportunity to raise a glass of spirits with such personalities as painter Toulouse-Latrec, the can-can dancers of the Moulin Rouge and burlesque sensation Millie DeLeon. The price of your daytime booth includes the night time event. If you wish to remain open you will be placed closer to the bigtop in a more favorable spot. These spots are limited and if neccessary will be given out at the discretion of the producers.
