Watch City Steampunk Festival 2025

The 2025 Watch City Steampunk Festival will feature costumed performers, musicians, kids' activities, and a large collection of unique vendors peddling all things Steampunk!&nbsp; Our FREE outdoor festival is centered on the beautiful Waltham Common. Attendees can listen to musical entertainment at the Gazebo and stroll a network of footpaths through our open-air vendors’ market (with over 60 vendors). Additionally attendees can experience exhibitions, kids’ activities, dine at various food trucks, and view multiple performance spaces. This year, we caution all attendees, there may be MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE! Watch City’s Mayor Solomon Sedgewick, has taken it upon himself to furnish the City with a brand new “zoological” park. However... the animals on exhibit there have a bit more bark and bite than he bargained for. Have your silver and garlic ready! Consult the event schedule on our website for a complete list of vendors, performances and venues. Note that there will be NO rain date for this event. Please prepare for the weather accordingly!
