The event, which was scheduled for October, will now be shifted to March 11-13.
A fire show will be planned for Friday evening and all stallholders and performers booked for the event will be invited to attend the event in March.
Goulburn Mulwaree Council mayor Bob Kirk said the postponement was down to common sense.
"Unfortunately, with the case numbers still growing in NSW, it is just not feasible to continue the planning work for Steampunk," Cr Kirk said.
"The event attracts people from right around NSW and from as far as Tasmania, Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory.
"At the moment, it is hard to see the borders being open by early October.
Event coordinator Julianne Salway shared the disappointment.
"We're very disappointed not to be able to hold the event as planned this year, but we are pleased we have only had to postpone until March. which is not too far away" Ms Salway said.
"I hope that we will get the same stallholders and performers back in March, and by then, will be able to welcome people from around Australia once again."
