About The Southcoast Mini Maker Faire
The Southcoast Mini Maker Faire came to Fall River in 2016 when local entrepreneur Christopher Nielsen introduced the concept to the YMCA and other local community leaders. “Since Fall River has a rich history in manufacturing and generally as a great place to make stuff, this seemed like a natural fit for the goals of the city as a featured annual event.” The community agreed and the maker faire movement is now alive and growing in Fall River as the plans for 2017 are underway.
Maker Faire originated in 2006 in the San Francisco Bay Area as a project of the editors of Make: magazine. It has since grown into a significant worldwide network of both flagship and independently-produced events.
