Welcome, friends! The Watch City Evening Social is a fantastic party that kicks off Watch City Steampunk Festival Weekend!
Join us in Landry Park outside of the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation at 7:15pm for an amazing fire performance by the Boston Circus Guild. This outdoor pre-show performance is FREE to the public!
Then come inside when the doors open at 8:00pm to enjoy the guitar artistry of Scott Helland, followed by the eclectically eccentric HUMANWINE, plus the swinging sounds of DJ Just Jam! As always, your hosts will be the Festival's favorite mortal enemies, Solomon Sedgewick and Captain Edward von Arkham.
All our fine performers will also have merchandise available so you can take a piece of their work home with you, and of course we'll have some festival swag for sale as well!

What is Steampunk? Steampunk art and design uses the core principles of both STEAM and Victorian-era industrial style to reimagine, make, create (recreate), and infuse a vision of the Future and answers the question: "What would the past look like if the future had happened sooner?"
In this one hour presentation, Bruce Rosenbaum, who the Wall Street Journal dubbed "The Guru of Steampunk" will bring you through his inspirations and his own work to show you how he is able to create virtual time machines by fusing the past with the present and future.
Note: Regular Museum admission fee applies.
