What is the Maker movement you ask? Maker Faire is a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning. It’s free to attend the event and explore maker exhibits.
Who Participates?

Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community. Makers will demonstrate and exhibit their creative work in science, technology, invention and the arts.

We are all makers!
