2025 Watch City Steampunk Festival

The 2025 Watch City Steampunk Festival will feature costumed performers, musicians, kids' activities, and over 60 unique vendors offering all things Steampunk.
This FREE outdoor festival will take place at the beautiful Waltham Common. Attendees can enjoy musical performances at the Gazebo, stroll through a vibrant vendors' market, experience exciting exhibitions, enjoy kids' activities, dine at various food trucks, and explore multiple performance spaces.
This year, be on the lookout for MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE! Watch City’s Mayor Solomon Sedgewick has created a new “zoological” park, but the creatures there might have a bit more bark and bite than expected. Be prepared with your silver and garlic!
For a complete list of vendors, performances, and venues, consult the event schedule on our website.
Please note that there is NO rain date, so come prepared for the weather!
Sponsored by the Downtown Waltham Partnership.
