About Maker Faire Chicago

Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these "makers" come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire will be held at the same time and close to C2E2. A great opportunity for Faire goers to "Make" at Maker Faire and check out the comic book and pop culture convention spanning the latest and greatest from the world of comics, movies, television, toys, anime, manga and video games Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) Ticket Add-on You have the option to purchase a ticket for the adjoining C2E2 show at a discount.
