Watch City Steampunk Festival

Centered on Waltham’s beautiful Common at the corner of Main and Moody Streets, the Watch City Steampunk Festival is the great outdoor festival of the Steampunk genre—a cultural and social movement melding elements of Victorian-era history and fashion with retro-futuristic technology.

Watch City 2015 will featuring a broad array of theatrical and musical performers as well as clothing, jewelry, art, and food vendors. The Festival is will also include kids programming, making this most definitely a family friendly event, as well.

The State of
Festival 2021

Greetings, Citizens of Watch City! While we'd love to be able to host a live event for you all in May, we think it's unlikely that we will get from where we are right now to having permission from the authorities to host a large outdoor event in time to put a good festival together.

In its place, Her Majesty Queen Mercy has asked us to prepare a virtual event to entertain you all on festival day, May 8th! Captain Von Arkham is busy conjuring up contraptions in his laboratory, and Mayor Sedgewick has been having shady meetings in back rooms. We're planning plans and scheming schemes.

Stay tuned for further announcements!

See You, VIRTUALLY, on
May 8th, 2021!


Catch up on the latest announcements!
