Maker Faire Bay Area
Historic Mare Island Promenade
September 26-28, 2025
2024 Recap
Makers big and small, young and old, in giant cuttlefish and on electric giraffes, with robots and without, showed up on Mare Island all weekend long to play perform, participate, teach, and learn. There were familiar faces and first timers, but most of all there were smiles, busy hands, excitement, and a whole lot of inspiration. In the words of Mario the Maker Magician, “Do what you love! Use what you have! Never give up!” We’ll see you next fall!
