The Maker Faire Long Island
– Sunday, September 14, 2025 –
The Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth is back! Now in its 8th year, Maker Faire Long Island returns with more innovation, imagination, and interactive fun—Sunday, September 14, 2025, at our exciting new venue: The Village Center in Port Jefferson.
This family-friendly festival is part of the global Maker Faire network, celebrating the Maker Movement across science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). It is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and sharing what they can do. From tech enthusiasts and crafters to homesteaders and scientists—Maker Faire is a venue for makers to showcase their hobbies, experiments, and projects.
Last year’s Faire brought together over 2,000 visitors and creators from around the region for a sold-out day of discovery. Highlights included interactive exhibits, robotics demos, art installations, and thrilling performances. This year, prepare to be amazed with brand-new hands-on experiences, the return of The Saber Guild – Endor Temple, and many more surprises.

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. Read more on Maker Faire history, the Maker Movement, as well as how to start a Maker Faire or a School Maker Faire where you live.
Produced by the Long Island Explorium since 2015.
Sincerely,
The Maker Movement is a term that refers to the growing community of independent artisans, technologists, and people from all walks of life who create new products, technologies, processes, and ideas. The maker movement has given rise to makerspaces -- places in public or private areas where interested “makers” congregate and share ideas and equipment. The Explorium is a makerspace, and ours is offered to the community based on a constructivist pedagogy.
