Hamilton’s FIRST Maker Faire Event was held on June 21st, 2015 at the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology and IT WAS STELLAR. We didn’t know quite what to expect our first year out…but with your help, the Hamilton Mini Maker Faire drew the biggest one-day crowd to the Steam Museum – ever!

It would seem that Hamilton really is a town that loves to celebrate Makers.

We are very excited to announce our plans for the 2nd Annual Hamilton Mini Maker Faire, which will be held on Sunday June 26th!

Until then…we invite you to bask in the warm glow of these highlights from the 2015 Hamilton Mini Maker Faire!
