The whole OC maker scene, in one weekend.
Maker Faire Orange County is the annual, family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness that we help produce — robotics, 3D printing, crafts, cooking, and a lot of things nobody expected.
September 12 & 13, 2026
Held at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, Maker Faire OC brings together makers of every age and discipline to show what they have built and get other people excited about building too.
It is the reason a lot of Makr Lab members found us in the first place — and where a lot of them exhibit once they have something worth showing.
