Welcome to Maker Faire
Maker Faire is the original, worldwide maker event that brings together creators, innovators, and DIY enthusiasts to showcase their projects, share ideas, and show us all what the future can be. Maker Faire is produced by the publishers of Make: magazine.
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024 took place on Mare Island in October. We had a great turnout with 27,000 people over three days to experience 350 maker exhibits over 50 presentations and hands-on activities. Among the performances were Diet Coke and Mentos by EepyBird, Mario the Maker Magician and Science Bob from CrunchLabs with a special appearance by Mark Rober. It was an incredible event — the best that Maker Faire can be!
A Bit About Maker Faire
Maker Faire and the Maker Movement continue to grow, sharing the joys of making across the globe. Since 2006 Maker Faire has been inspiring people to ask questions, find solutions, collaborate, and experiment.
Where do Faires happen?
Maker Faires happen in over 40 countries across the globe throughout each year. No two events are the same, though all share the ethos to celebrate the creativity of the maker movement. We invite you to explore Upcoming Faires today and find one to attend or participate in!
How did Maker Faire start?
Maker Faire originated in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006 when founder Dale Dougherty envisioned bringing the pages of Make: magazine to life, celebrating the stories and people behind the projects, coining the term “maker,” and jumpstarting the maker movement.
Can I organize a Faire?
You can! Celebrate innovation, spark creativity, share skills, and connect the creative people and innovative projects in your community by establishing a Maker Faire in your school, city, or region. Maker Faires come in all shapes and sizes, bringing together makers of all ages. Build the future in your community!

News from 
Magazine
I want to celebrate makers. I want to flush them out of the communities and bring them together at events like Maker Faire so they can meet each other and see that they aren't alone, that they can learn from each other and, more importantly, begin to do things that they might not think they can do on their own.
