We are excited to announce that Maker Fair Minnesota is returning to the Nicollet County Fairgrounds in Saint Peter, Minnesota in 2026 for its 14th year. Due to a scheduling conflict with the venue, this year’s event will be held one week earlier than usual on Saturday, October 3rd from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

 

Emails have been sent to vendors that participated in our 2025 event with instructions for early registration. If you participated in last year’s event and did not receive an email, please reach out to us.

 

We are now accepting jury applications for new vendors for our 2026 event. Maker Fair Minnesota is not a first come, first served event. We carefully review all submissions. The extension of invites is a rolling process, so applying first is not a guarantee you will receive an invite. We still encourage applicants to apply early because Maker Fair Minnesota is always a sold out event. We will not begin extending invites until early registration for returning vendors closes and we have placed all returning vendors. When we know what spots are available to offer to new vendors, we will begin extending invites.
