Maker Faire
Build, CRAFT, hack, play, MAKE.
Arts • Crafts • Engineering • Green • Music • Science


The inaugural Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA in 2006. Maker Faire Bay Area celebrated its sixth annual Bay Area event in 2011 with some 100,000 people in attendance. As Maker Faire has grown in popularity and relevance, additional flagship Faires were launched in 2010 in Detroit and New York City. Community-driven, independently produced Mini Maker Faire events inspired by Maker Faire are now being produced around the United States and the World. This spring, the award-winning Maker Faire returns to the Bay Area - May 19 and 20th at the San Mateo County Expo Center and Fairgrounds.
