  • It doesn't always have to be hands-on for the public, but think of something ENGAGING for them. Are they watching you make? Do they get to learn something? Is it cool?! Don't just pass out flyers, let them get involved somehow!
  • Please do not repeat the first part of the sentence above, just add onto the sentence as you see best.
  • Please add on at least 45 minutes to your set up time to handle Maker check-in, unloading your items to your exhibit space, and parking your vehicle. Event starts at 9:00 am, so all Makers must be ready by 8:30am for the Opening Ceremony. Thank you in advance for making this part of your planning process! We appreciate it!
  • Beat the lines and don't worry about rushing on Saturday morning! You will have the option to start loading in on Friday afternoon. We will have security at the venue overnight and host a Maker-Mingle for all those who start setting up on Friday.
  • Our venue is largely outside in the elements. A preference here is NOT guaranteed by acceptance. You will receive confirmation in advance of the Faire.
  • (Please keep in mind, most of the venue is grass.)
  • (We do not provide extension cords, you MUST bring your own.)
  • To ensure you have adequate power onsite, it's essential we know in advance the specific amount you need. To find the total amperage you require, find the amperage listed on the back of each piece of equipment you plan to use onsite. Then, add up the amps and round up to the closest amperage below.

    • - All options below are for a 120v circuit (normal US house circuit.)
    • - If you require a 208V or 240v circuit, select "Special power requirements" and explain your power needs in the comment box provided.
    • - Average amperage for common Maker Faire items: Laptop ~2A, Sewing Machine ~0.6A, Lights ~0.3A-2A, 3D Printer ~10A, Arduino ~0.1A. Please check your equipment, and don’t guess.
  • Please select the requested power from the list below. You can state your specific power request in the Special Requests section if none of the choices are suitable for your exhibit.
  • If your exhibit uses radio frequencies, please provide details about your RF use, frequencies, etc.

      • Our performance budget is extremely limited as Maker Faire is not a music festival. Maker Faire provides publicity, large crowds and excellent opportunities for networking and just having fun. We cannot give you what you might normally make in a club or music festival, but we may be able to help defray some of your costs with a small stipend for your performance. Below, please let us know what kind of compensation you would like to receive for playing the event.
