Activities

We offer a wide range of activities for adults and families. More Activities for 2025 coming soon!

Cyanotype Make & Take Attleboro Area Industrial Museum

Join the Attleboro Area Industrial Museum at the Jewelry City Steampunk Festival for a free, hands-on STEAM activity! Participants will learn how to create cyanotype prints using found objects from the museum’s collection. By arranging objects on pre-treated paper and exposing it to UV light, participants will watch a reverse print develop, which they can take home. Drop by anytime from 11 am to 5 pm to make your own cyanotype collage!

Splendid Teapot Racing

Splendid Teapot Racing features radio-controlled teapots negotiating an obstacle course. Attach a teapot to a remote controlled vehicle and embellish to taste! Will your racer clear the Antique Crockery Slalom, climb the Ramp of Doom, and leap Crocodile Chasm? It doesn’t matter, because in this sport failure is hilarious! A few loaner teapot racers will be available. Learn more at https://splendidteapotracing.com/. *Please note that any children will need their parents supervision to try a racer. 

Costume Contest

Is your costume steampunk? Then you qualify to join Festival Founder, Heather Rockwood, as the last event on Saturday for a costume contest. We’ll be giving out awards for Best Costume, Best Kid Costume, Best Group, and Most Creative. A group photograph will follow.
