Sidelined for two years by the global pandemic, the Louisville Maker Faire returned this fall! Equal parts street festival, science fair and business networking event, the Louisville Maker Faire is “The Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth.” Participants learned how to make and fix stuff with makers ranging from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers, all sharing the Louisville Maker Faire purpose – to entertain, inform, connect and grow the maker community.

Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these makers to show hobbies, experiments, projects, and more. It's a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness. Glimpse the future and get inspired!
