Mark Your Calendars – A Day of Hands-On Fun and Inspiration
Palm Bay, FL — Palm Bay’s most exciting community event, the Maker Faire, is back and bigger than ever! Set your plans for Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Makers, innovators, and creatives from across the region will gather to showcase their skills, share knowledge, and inspire the next generation of creators. Whether you’re a seasoned hobbyist, an aspiring inventor, or simply curious about the world of making, this event has something for everyone.
What Is Maker Faire?
The Maker Faire is a global celebration of innovation and creativity, bringing together people passionate about science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). It’s a place where curiosity and collaboration take center stage, and attendees of all ages can discover hands-on exhibits, interactive workshops, and awe-inspiring demonstrations.
Here in Palm Bay, the Maker Faire carries that same spirit of innovation while highlighting our local talent. For instance, at a previous event, local students showcased a solar-powered robotic car, while a Palm Bay artist demonstrated how to create intricate designs using a 3D printer. These kinds of projects exemplify the creativity and innovation that define our community. Organized by the Greater Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the city of Palm Bay, this event celebrates the unique blend of creativity and community that defines our area. From DIY robotics and 3D printing to handcrafted arts and sustainable solutions, the event offers a unique glimpse into the creative process and the joy of making.
