Maker Faire Burlington is April 13, 2019, 10am-5pm. It is North Carolina’s largest and longest running Maker Faire (now in our 8th year!). We attract a diverse audience of attendees from all over the state and this is made possible by you! Maker exhibitors show off inspirational projects, skills, inventions, art, and maker businesses. Maker Faire is YOUR platform to inspire, educate, and entertain others. We are excited that you want to share and inspire at Maker Faire Burlington!
What kind of exhibit should I have? The best exhibits are those that are interactive where the visiting public can get their hands dirty making something or doing something. Next best are those exhibits that demonstrate or teach something. We also accept static exhibits that are informational or inspirational. Individuals, groups, makerspaces, schools, universities, libraries, or small maker businesses may apply for space to show off what they do.
Age requirements? We accept makers of any age, although we expect any maker exhibitors under the age of 18 to have permission from an adult, and the support and help of a responsible adult during the event.
How much is it? Exhibiting is FREE for those who are not selling directly from their exhibit. For those selling directly from their exhibit there is a $35 fee to be paid at time of checking in.
When is the deadline to apply? Applications can be submitted until March 22, 2019.
