Watch City Festival, formerly known as International Steampunk City is an annual steampunk festival held in Waltham, Massachusetts. It is held as a fundraiser by〔 and for the benefit of the Charles River Museum of Industry, which suffered significant flood damage. According to CRMI Executive Director Ellen 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. The programming is typical of a steampunk festival, including an art show, panel discussions on a variety of topics, Steampunk music, crafts workshops, vendors, and performances. Unlike many Steampunk events, the Museum leverages its own exhibits and relationships with local businesses participate to arrange discounts to event attendees. This cooperation also allows the event to use many outdoor spaces as well as indoor stages,〔 resulting in an event that covers much more square footage than typical for such events.〔 ==Past events== *2011 - May 7–8, 2012: Titled "International Steampunk City" *2012 - May 11–13: Titled "Watch City Festival" *2013 - May 10–12: Titled "Watch City Festival" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Watch City Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
