The story

Steam Party San Marino in Citta di San Marino

Steam Party is a steampunk-themed festival organized by Associazione San Marino Comics, reaching its 8th edition June 6 to 7, 2026 across Borgo Maggiore and San Marino's historic center, with Victorian-era photo sets, a Victorian-steampunk dinner, costume parades, theatrical shows, and a Steampunk Oscar award ceremony.

For one weekend each June, San Marino trades its usual medieval and Renaissance-tourism identity for something stranger and more playful: gears, corsets, goggles, and top hats fill Borgo Maggiore and the historic center as Steam Party transforms the republic into what organizers describe as the capital of Italian steampunk.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival positions San Marino as what organizers call the capital of Italian steampunk for a weekend, an unusual thematic identity for a small European republic, and builds a genuinely immersive program around it, including staged Victorian-era photo opportunities, an elegant themed dinner, and a Victorian picnic, rather than a single costume parade alone

02

The mystery stays covered

Its 2024 edition drew more than 2,000 attendees from Italy and abroad, establishing it as a significant draw within Europe's niche but devoted steampunk subculture, complete with its own dedicated award, the Steampunk Oscar, recognizing standout costuming and craftsmanship
