FREE Admission thanks to PPL Foundation

The Children’s Museum of Bloomsburg will host its fifth Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire on Saturday, April 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds of the Children’s Museum, 2 West 7th Street, in Bloomsburg.

Admission is free thanks to the generous sponsorship of PPL Foundation.

The event brings together amateur and professional artists, crafters, engineers, and performers in a combination of large spectacles and communal interactive experiences. Maker Faire is a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, and a celebration of community. It’s a place where people show what they are making and share what they are learning. Makers range from engineers to artists to scientists to crafters to garage tinkerers. This year over 60 vendors will be present for the show.

“The Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire is a happy event that brings the community together,” Diana Hughes, Children’s Museum Board Member, and Maker Faire volunteer said. “No matter what age, you will have a great time. It’s fabulous for families and individuals.”
