Makerfest features live music, maker vendors, hands-on demos, food, car and bike shows, a community repair clinic, a Sunday cooking competition, and plenty of “I made that” energy.

UC Makerspace’s big summer fundraising event is a celebration of the people who build, repair & restore, cook & craft, weld, print & paint, sew & solder, carve & race – and who sometimes think they can fix that thing just before they make it even worse.

This is a weekend of makers & artists & musicians & food creators & gearheads & families, small businesses and community partners showcasing what creativity looks like when it moves out of the garage and into the fairgrounds.

The profits help build UC Makerspace and Imagine Foundry, a permanent home for creative learning, entrepreneurship, hands-on education, food business incubation, and community-powered problem-solving in the Upper Cumberland.
