Maker Faire Orlando Returns for Fifth Anniversary Oct 22-23, 2016

Florida’s largest Maker event, Maker Faire Orlando, celebrates its fifth anniversary the weekend of October 22-23, with a move to a new, larger venue.

Maker Faire Orlando 2016 will be held at the Central Florida Exposition Park (Fairgrounds), and feature hundreds of local Makers, hands-on workshops, and more that will entertain and inspire.

The event is made possible through the efforts of many individuals in the local Maker community, along with community partner organizations such as FamiLAB, Factur, Orlando Science Center, Art & History Museums – Maitland, The Dorothy Lumley Melrose Center, Nerd Nite Orlando, and Crealde School of Art.

“We are excited to provide our Makers with more room for even bigger projects and for hands-on Maker workshops,” said Jessica King, Vice-President of The Maker Effect Foundation and producer of Maker Faire Orlando. “Moving into October should lead to cooler, dryer weather which will make the outdoor exhibits and events like Power Racing even more enjoyable.”

TICKETS

Tickets are $15 single day/$25 two-day for adults, and $10 single/$15 two-day for ages 4-12.

Tickets are available at makerfaireorlando.com, and all presale ticket purchasers will be entered into a drawing to win a Deltamaker 3D printer package valued at over $2500.
