Top Ten Reasons to Come to the Faire
It’s almost here! This Sunday, October 6th, hundreds of makers are ready to share their creations with the world AND YOU! So without further delay here’s my top ten reasons why you should come to the Philadelphia Mini Maker Faire!
1. Fun for all ages!
The greatest show & tell on Earth in PHILLY! Our second year and bigger than ever! The Philadelphia Mini Maker Faire is a celebration of making and makers. Philadelphia was known as the workshop of the world and Philadelphian represented the expertise in production and manufacturing. We have a huge community of tinkerers, innovators, makers, artists, and entrepreneurs and the Faire is a celebration of Philly making.
