Makers, crafters, geeks, techies, artists, and pretty much everyone else… Maker Faire, held by MAKE Magazine, will be held in Providence this September! It’s very exciting news as something that has traditionally taken place in California (I think there were a couple in Texas as well). It’s great to bring an event held in such high regard to the east coast, and to Providence no less. Being a city of makers, this is the perfect location for this event.
The dates for the festival are September 12-19 with a special kickoff at the Rocktucket Block Party in Pawtucket on September 6.
Check the links for all the details. I’ll be attending most of the events (I’m not a maker, but I am a geek and find this stuff to be pretty cool). The best part is, aside from the fundraiser on September 12, it’s all free and open to the public.
