Welcome! Makers and Community Partners are invited to apply to participate in Maker Faire Lafayette for FREE!
This year's Faire will be a safe, socially distant hybrid event taking place online, at home, and in the Lafayette community the week of April 5-10, 2021.
We ask all Makers and Community Partners to demonstrate a creative process or share a hands-on activity in the form of a video*, an in-person tour, an in-person workshop, or take-and-make kits that will be distributed directly to participants.
Hoping to sell your wares? Vending is allowed at Maker Faire Lafayette's in person events — but you must be responsible for all parts of the sale process. We do not charge any vendor fees. You can participate for free!

To find the total amperage you require, find the amperage listed on the back of each piece of equipment you plan to use onsite. Then, add up the amps and round up to the closest amperage below.
- All options below are for a 120v circuit (normal US house circuit.)
- If you require a 208V or 240v circuit, select "Special power requirements" and explain your power needs in the comment box provided.
- Average amperage for common Maker Faire items: Laptop ~2A, Sewing Machine ~0.6A, Lights ~0.3A-2A, 3D Printer ~10A, Arduino ~0.1A.
Please check your equipment, and don’t guess; Thank you in advance.
