On May 12th & 13th, 2012, the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation presents the third annual Watch City Festival! This is a city-wide event that celebrates the imagination, history and ingenuity behind Steampunk. For one weekend the city of Waltham is transformed into an alternate reality “trapped in time” where the lines between science fiction and the industrial revolution are blurred to bring guests into an immersing experience like no other!

The Watch City Festival is not just any other convention. It is an event that literally brings a community together. From the Museum to small businesses to schools, and even the Mayor’s office, there is no event that celebrates culture and the arts with fun, food and fantasy like this one.

 

The Watch City Festival 2012 will push the boundaries of last year’s event, which welcomed 10,000 visitors to the city.  Join us for hot air balloon rides, live music, theatrical presentations, storytelling, sideshows, scholarly lectures, street performances, a Victorian Tea Dance, vintage dance lessons, author readings, and so much more!
