Tickets Now Available for the Second Annual Alameda Mini Maker Faire
The Mini Maker Faire is a celebration of spirited maker culture, showcasing local DIY’rs, scientists, designers, tinkerers, and artisans – and returns to Alameda this August!
WHAT: Alameda Mini Maker Faire
WHEN: Sunday, August 11, 2019, 10 am-4 pm
WHERE: Alameda Point (Saratoga Street and West Ranger Avenue)
MORE INFO: http://www.alameda.makerfaire.com
Attendees will experience interactive exhibits and be inspired by the creativity and innovation of the local maker community. Last year’s Faire attracted over 65 exhibitors and 2,500 attendees, and this year’s Faire will have even more exhibits and attractions.
“There was such a broad and intriguing range of things to see and actually get your hands on and do. This is not a place with ‘Do Not Touch’ signs,” said Amanda Gehrke, with Alameda’s Community Development Department and co-producer of the event. “And the 2019 Faire will be even bigger and better - more makers, more art, and more activities!”
The Alameda Mini Maker Faire follows in the footsteps of its renowned parent event, Maker Faire Bay Area, which hosts 100,000 visitors in San Mateo each May 17-19.
Tickets are now available! Tickets are $5.00 at http://www.alameda.makerfaire.com, $7.00 at the door, and free for under 5 and over 65. Two dollars from every ticket will go toward parklets, murals, and place-making projects in west Alameda.
This event is produced by the City of Alameda, in partnership with the Downtown Alameda and West Alameda Business Associations. Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, The General Storehouse at Alameda Point, which has 80,000 square feet of commercial kitchens, maker space, and loft style work/live units currently under construction.
Parking will be plentiful, but we encourage you to bike or take public transportation to the Faire. This year’s Bike Valet will be sponsored by Cypress Equity Investments.
