Dublin Maker Returns – Saturday, 30th and Sunday 31st of August 2025 in Leopardstown Racecourse – Open Call Now Open!
Gather round everyone, Dublin Maker is back for 2025 and the Open Call for Makers is now officially open!
Whether you are a maker enthusiast, a DIY devotee, a creative crafter, a gadgeteer, a hobbyist, an inventor, a builder, a modder or a hacker, we want to see what you have been up to this past year!
The creative festival of show and tell that is Dublin Maker is set to return this summer to our new exciting venue – Leopardstown Racecourse. With your help, we will be transforming Leopardstown Racecourse into a spectacular family-friendly festival of invention, creativity and resourcefulness.
Each year, we welcome hobbyists, engineers, artists, science clubs, educators, students and commercial exhibitors of all ages and backgrounds. Dublin Maker’s mission is to entertain and inform the public and the next generation of Ireland’s makers and inventors, while bringing together the amazing Irish Maker community. And we want you to be a part of it.
Whether you are an enthusiastic first-time exhibitor or a well-seasoned pro, we want you!
Dublin Maker is an opportunity to come together with other enthusiastic, like-minded makers to share projects with each other and with the public. The projects you bring to Dublin Maker don’t have to be finished, and they definitely don’t have to be for sale. We just want to show how you do, what you do – so in progress, hobbyist projects are both welcome and encouraged!
