Orlando’s non-profit, community-organized celebration of art, science technology and more, Maker Faire Orlando, is returning to the Central Florida Fairgrounds this fall!
On Nov. 9-10, ‘makers’ of all ages and backgrounds will showcase their craft to visitors across 300 local exhibits. The two-day event will also feature Power Racing, Combat Robots, Nerdy Derby, and more on display throughout three air-conditioned exhibit halls and green spaces filled with hands-on activities, workshops and competitions.
The event will be held from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. on both days at the Central Florida Fairgrounds, located at 4603 W Colonial Dr., Orlando, FL 32808. On-site parking is free and there will be a variety of food available to purchase.
Early Bird tickets are still available until Aug. 31:
- One-Day Tickets: $7 for Youth and Students, $10 for Adults
- Two-Day Tickets: $12 for Youth and Students, $15 for Adults
New for this year, event-goers can see some of the machines from the television show “BattleBots” live and in-person during Robot Ruckus, the largest and only live open heavyweight tournament in the U.S.
In addition, a VIP fundraising event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 6-8 p.m., where participants will be able to see and hear from over a dozen elite combat robot builder teams who have competed on “BattleBots.” Only 1,000 tickets will be sold for this event. You can learn more here.
