2026 NH Maker Fest
Join us at the 14th annual New Hampshire Maker Fest, an all-ages celebration of creativity and innovation taking place in and around the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in downtown Dover, NH, on Saturday, June 6 from 10am–3pm. Explore hands-on making with engineers, scientists, artists, teachers, musicians, dancers, and so many more talented volunteers! This year’s Fest includes appearances by CoastX with a mini lobster buoy craft, Dover Shockwave Robotics with their basketball shooting robot, SeaPerch with their underwater ROV, MudCity Clay with wheel throwing demos, and even a family-friendly DJ dance party with hula hoops—just to name a few! We end the Fest with a Bubble Pop Dance Party outside on the museum's Play Patio! See the entire schedule and a full list of participating Makers over on our NH Maker Fest page. Admission to both the Fest and the museum exhibits is by a $5 per person suggested donation. Purchase in advance online or donate in person at the Fest.
