The event will be free and open to the public, offering a fun and engaging day for all!Our full exhibitor registration will open soon, but in the meantime, interested exhibitors can sign up on our Early Interest form to be first in line for booth space!
This is an outdoor event, held on the broad, shady, spacious grounds of the Draft Haus. Nonprofit and education exhibits are free. Vendor exhibitor rates will range from $150 to $350, depending on exhibitor needs and preferences. Some commercial booths for craft and hobby suppliers are also available.
We’re looking for creative “maker” style exhibits – crafts, trades, arts, music, jewlery making, wood working, metal work, textiles, inventions, innovations, interactive exhibits and related presentations. This is a curated event, and registration does not guarantee acceptance as an exhibitor, but we’ll communicate with everyone who applies.
So go ahead – Wow us! – and let’s make Gulf Coast MakerCon 2026 Tampa Bay’s best Celebration of the Inventive Spirit ever!
