Midcoast Mini Maker Faire 2017

Are you passionate about something and want to share it with our community? It’s free to present as a Maker! Apply today!

The 2017 Midcoast Mini Maker Faire will be on Saturday, September 9,  11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Makers of all types will converge at the Camden Public Library and Amphitheatre for a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness – a celebration of the Maker movement.

This is not an art show or a science fair. It’s an event for people who create – anything – and a chance for them to share their passion with the community and to celebrate the process of making and learning.
