- Q6053633 abstract "Watch City Steampunk Festival, previously known as International Steampunk City and the Watch City Festival, is an annual open-air, indoor/outdoor steampunk festival held in Waltham, Massachusetts. It began in 2011 as a fundraiser by and for the benefit of the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation, which suffered significant flood damage in March 2010.According to then CRMII Executive Director Elln Hagny, the event was inspired by the success of two events in 2010: the New England Steampunk Festival and a Steampunk exhibit called "Steampunk: Form & Function," the first Steampunk exhibit featured in a major American museum.After no event in 2014, 2015 saw the return of the Festival, now called the Watch City Steampunk Festival, in May of that year. For the first time the Festival was not run by the CRMII, but was now under the auspices of the Downtown Waltham Partnership, a Waltham-based nonprofit supporting the city’s community.In addition to that significant change, the 2015 Festival calendar was scaled back slightly to evening events on Friday and the full outdoor festival occurring only on Saturday (previous years had the Festival continuing through until Sunday), allowing for a Sunday rain date in the event of inclement weather. This also marked the first year that the full schedule of daytime festival events were completely free to the public.The Festival brought in an estimated Saturday attendance of over 10,000 at the 2015 event.While the programming is typical of a steampunk festival, including art exhibitions, panel discussions on a variety of topics, Steampunk music, crafts workshops, vendors, and performances. unlike many Steampunk events, the Watch City Steampunk Festival makes extensive use of its host city’s public spaces and Waltham’s unique place in the history of American industry. In addition, it fosters interaction with both local businesses and organizations, making it truly a Waltham community event.It was announced in September 2015 that the Festival date for the following year would be May 7, 2016, with a rain date of May 8.".
