The Call for Makers will open again in late summer 2021!

 

The East Bay Mini Maker Faire is a colorful community festival that brings together science, art, craft, homesteading and engineering, music, food, workshops, and performance.

 

This family-friendly event showcases the amazing work of all kinds of makers across the East Bay and beyond—anyone who is embracing the DIY or DIT (do-it-together!) spirit and wants to share their accomplishments with an appreciative audience.  Exhibits that are interactive or highlight the process of making things are especially desired.
