The Makerfaire Will Be in Coney Island This Year!
The NY Maker Faire, which usually took place in Queens at the NY Hall of Science will be held in Coney Island this year.
On Saturday, October 7th and Sunday, October 8th, the Makerfaire will take place at Maimonides Park at 1904 Surf Avenue. It opens at 10:30 AM and closes at 5:00 PM.
What will you see at the Maker Faire? A lot of people showing cool things they create – not just jewelry or fabric crafts, but a lot of technology as well.
If you want to be an exhibitor at the Maker Faire, you can apply here.
When I attended this event (before Covid), they had stations set up all over to teach children and adults how to weld and create a light-up pin to wear. It’s a great event to take children to because there is so much to do and see. Many of the makers love showing people how things work and have the children test it for them.
The tickets to the Maker Faire have always been expensive, especially if a whole family attends. (Get tickets)
There are early bird tickets are $5.00 cheaper if you buy by today, September 1, 2023:
But there are discounts and they need volunteers, so you can attend for low price or even free. (Volunteer here)
It’s nice to see Coney Island get something nice for a change. This area was the first selected for a migrant shelter….at a school. And some dudes are considering a casino for the area, which will make Coney Island like Atlantic City.
Hugs,
