Maker Festival is a celebration and cultivation of Toronto’s maker spirit. It’s an opportunity to lasercut the lid off the Maker movement that thrives just under the surface of this fine city, and shine a thousand watts of light on the creative people, projects and spaces that make it magic.

Our mission is to unlock the inner maker in everyone by nudging participants toward experimenting, hacking, building and playing with the physical & digital worlds. We believe making inspires openness to possibilities, a sense of active participation in shaping our world, and a yearning for a more wonder-filled tomorrow.

Cool story – so what IS the Maker Festival?

Good question. Here’s the deal:

Thursday 23rd July | LAUNCH PARTY

Saturday 25th July – Friday 31st July | SATELLITE EVENTS ACROSS THE CITY

Saturday 1st August & Sunday 2nd August | MAKER EXTRAVAGANZA

Wait a red hot second – weren’t you a Faire last year? YES! After hosting two super successful Toronto Mini Maker Faires we realized that Toronto’s burgeoning maker community was ready for it’s own identity and platform for engaging the rest of the city – and thus, Maker Festival was born!

Totally pumped? Us too!
