Part science fair, part art festival and part something entirely new, Maker Faire Atlanta is a fun for all ages festival. An estimated 15,000-plus people are expected to attend this year’s Faire which features innovation and experimentation across the spectrum of science, engineering, art, performance and craft.

“We’re excited to once again bring all kinds of makers and non-makers together to be inspired by and share new ideas, creations and innovations,” said Milton Walker III, interim executive director of the Southeast Makers Alliance, host of this year’s Maker Faire. “From art and crafting to drone and robot racing, there’s something for all interests!”

More than 100 makers are signed up to share their ideas, passions and projects, including costume and textile designers, woodworkers, blacksmith and precious metal makers, tech hackers, robot builders, LEGO® architects, independent manufacturers and graphic and visual artists. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities and learn new skills as they take part in a range of interactive exhibits.

New in 2018

Cosplay Prop Contest — Maker Faire Atlanta will host its first ever cosplay contest expected to bring out creative DIY costumes based on favorite comic book, sci-fi, movie, television and cartoon characters.
Lotus Eaters Club — Five award-winning artists of animation, illustration and design will work together throughout the festival to create a mural celebrating Atlanta makers.
Vamos Chicos Bus — A converted, eco-arts bus complete with an arts studio, crafts workshop and science lab will showcase the fusion of the arts and conservation.
