Today is one of the coolest events of the year and it’s free.
Downtown Columbia Maker Faire , Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods, 12 - 4 pm.
I’m not recovered enough yet from surgery so I can’t be there but I hope you will go. If you are as intrigued as I am by this quirky and wondrous celebration of creativity, tinkering, and just plain fun - - don’t miss it!
It’s more than just looking at things. It’s a very open-ended, hands-on experience. So, if you have kids, or you happen to be someone like me…Maker Faire is for you. And there are plenty of well-cared for trees in The Park so you will have shade if you need it.
Tickets are free but you must pre-register so they know how many people to expect and how to manage the parking logistics.
Downtown Columbia Maker Faire Registration
From the event page:
Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning, creating, and love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue to show off hobbies, experiments, projects, and careers.
The Inner Arbor Trust is happy to bring this fun, educational, and creative family friendly event back to Merriweather Park in Symphony Woods, right in the heart of Downtown Columbia, MD!
Join us for family friendly workshops, demonstrations, and presentations on painting, sculpting, robotics, digital art, and so much more!
Curious about what kinds of things you’ll see?
I want to tell you that food and drink will be available for purchase but, as of this moment, I can’t find a link for that. Will update as soon as I nail that down. And here it is!
Last year I fell in love with this guy and started following him on Instagram. You never know who you’ll meet at the Maker Faire.
I am putting it out there to the universe that it is my wish to be at next year’s Maker Faire as an actual maker. You heard it here first.
If you do go, and you’re the kind of person who likes to take photographs, send them my way or post them on social media so I can enjoy it vicariously.
