Florida’s largest Maker event, Maker Faire Orlando, celebrates its fifth anniversary with a new date, new venue, and more space for community Maker groups.

This two-day, family-friendly celebration will feature hundreds of local Makers, hands-on workshops and more that will entertain and inspire more than 20,000 members of the Central Florida community. Maker Faire Orlando will be held on October 22nd and 23rd at the Central Florida Exposition Park (Fairgrounds).

“We are excited to provide our Makers with more room for even bigger projects and for hands-on Maker workshops,” said Jessica King, Vice-President of The Maker Effect Foundation and producer of Maker Faire Orlando. “Moving into October should lead to cooler, dryer weather which will make the outdoor exhibits and events like Power Racing even more enjoyable.”

Maker Faire Orlando is made possible through the efforts of many individuals in the local Maker community and community partner organizations such as FamiLAB, Factur, Orlando Science Center, Art & History Museums – Maitland, The Dorothy Lumley Melrose Center, Nerd Nite Orlando, and Crealde School of Art. The unprecedented collaboration between these community partners blurs the lines between art and technology in a way that enriches the community and creates opportunities for creativity, learning, fun, and innovation.

“We are thrilled with the ongoing growth of Maker Faire Orlando and honored to be a part of its continued success,” said JoAnn Newman, President and CEO of Orlando Science Center. “While we are not physically hosting the event in 2016, we are looking forward to participating in this incredible community celebration of imagination and ingenuity. ”

If interested in speaking with specific Makers or supporting the event as a sponsor or community partner, email makers@makerfaireorlando.com or visit www.makerfaireorlando.com.
