Maker Faire Prague festival attracted last year nearly 10 000 people

More than 130 makers gathered in 2023 in the Křižík Pavilions at the Prague Exhibition Centre and nearly 10,000 enthusiastic visitors arrived.
“I am very happy about this year’s edition. We managed to put together a varied programme once again, quite a few new makers arrived and the natural compactness of the venue and the community dimension of the event worked beautifully. I am also pleased that the Prague Maker Faire is becoming more and more a part of the social consciousness. This year, we were very pleased to see the presence of the American founders of Maker Faire, colleagues from European festivals or, for example, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands or the Ambassador of Great Britain, who visited Maker Faire in Prague for the first time,” comments Vojtěch Kolařík, the main organizer of the event.

What is the Maker Faire?

It is a festival full of workshops, interactive activities and above all enthusiastic and enquiring people. The world-class creativity showcase brings together garage makers and professionals, and provides smart entertainment for families with children. Maker Faire brings together modern technology, science, design and traditional crafts.

Anyone with a creative spirit can be a maker. Makers are the ones who don’t settle for ordinary and mundane technologies or services. They are the people who come up with innovations and new ideas, and share them with others.
