South Shore Maker Faire

04/23/2020

With events across the nation being canceled or postponed this summer, local partners pulling support, and the understanding that it is the correct response to keep our community, families, and volunteers safe and healthy, we are canceling this year's Maker Faire due to the COVID-19 virus. We are committed to making this an annual premier event for our region. As soon as we can, we will start planning for the 2021 Maker Faire! Please be on the lookout for next year's information. Best wishes to you and your family, stay healthy, South Shore Makers!
