The Cogs & Corsets festival takes place throughout six square blocks of historic Downtown Bloomington. This area is home to over 90 shops, galleries, and restaurants... many in historic buildings with ties to Abraham Lincoln. The galleries will be featuring local artists' new work and even hosting visiting artists whose pieces exude that Steampunk vibe. The Museum of History and the gorgeous historic Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts will once again be key parts of the action.
