SUMMARY:Watch City Steampunk Festival: Extra Hours
DESCRIPTION:After the main festival was restricted to a mere four-hour duration\, we asked the local community to tell us about other events happening on May 9\, so that attendees would find additional reasons to come visit Waltham. These have become “Extra Hours” for the day. \nNote that all these events are being run by the individual organizations\, not the Watch City Steampunk Festival (with the exception of the Pub Sing). If you have questions\, contact the organizer directly.

SUMMARY:Pub and chantey sing
DESCRIPTION:This is a Steampunk “Extra Hours” Event. \nJoin the singers of “A Jug of Songs” for an evening of social singing! What could be more Victorian than sitting in a pub\, drinking beer by the tankard\, and belting out 19th-century drinking and music hall songs? You don’t need to know the songs\, but you’ll probably pick up on them quickly. A parade of singers will leave the Gazebo on Waltham Common when the main festival ends\, to arrive at “In a Pickle” at 265 Moody Street around 4:15 p.m.
