About this Event
MakerDeck IRL 2026: a Festival for Makers is where makers get away from their workshops for a day and come together, right here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a family-friendly event at a community center designed for anyone who loves to build, tinker, and explore.
This is our innaugural festival, so we're not quite sure what to expect... but we've set the arena for a day full of fun and interactivity!
Whether you’re an experienced pro, a hobbyist with a side project, or just curious about the maker scene, this festival is for you.
Expect a full day of hands-on demos, creative showcases, and plenty of chances to ask questions, swap ideas, and spark new collaborations. Kids and families are welcome, too—there’s something for every age and skill level.
But MakerDeck isn’t just a once-a-year event. We’re a global community of makers connected through a 24/7 livestream, where people from around the world share projects, learn from each other, and keep the spirit of making alive every single day. This festival is that same energy, produced in real life.
Come join the fun, get inspired, and be part of a community that’s all about curiosity, creativity, and the joy of making things together. Children 12 and younger are free with an adult!
