Join us in Wright Park, next to the Seymour Botanical Conservatory for our annual British Colonial Summer Picnic. This event is co-hosted by von Mausheim's Society of Dastardly Exiles and Tacoma's very own Steam Town- uniting local chappists, Victorian and Edwardian recreationalists, and steampunks for a combined Tea, Picnic, and yes- a Potluck Curry in the park.
