Lights, Camera, MAKE!

Join us for our 12th Annual MakerFaire!

The Baton Rouge Maker Faire is a community festival that brings together science, art, craft, homesteading, and makers of all kinds. This family-friendly event showcases the amazing work of all kinds of makers across the Baton Rouge area and beyond—anyone who is embracing the DIY or DIT (do-it-together!) spirit and wants to share their accomplishments with an appreciative audience. Entries can be submitted from individuals; groups such as hobbyist clubs and schools; commercial makers or crafters; startups; and companies.

Our theme this year is filmmaking!

Whether you work on professional film sets, you’re an aspiring director with a short film to show off, you work with set design, costumes, makeup, music, editing, special effects, or stunts, there’s so much making when it comes to film production!

Building a strong maker community means working together, so priority acceptance will go to makers who can incorporate something to teach or share with Maker Faire attendees. Make it interactive! When the Call for Makers is open, you can click below to sign up.
