Repair Fair Recap! May 17th, 2026

Repair Fair on May 17th, 2026 was SO much fun! Give the photos a scroll and see for yourself.

A ton of y'all showed up with your clothes, bicycles, appliances, jewelry, furniture and more. Many thanks to all of you who gave your beloved stuff a second life, and many thanks to our super handy volunteer fixers who kept that beloved stuff out of the landfill. 

Impact

  • 61 attendees brought their beloved but broken items.

  • 24 fixer and support volunteers generously shared their time and skills.

  • 14,121 miles of driving

  • 20,734 miles of flying

  • 2,125 showers

More Than Just Fixin’ Things

These events are about more than simply fixing stuff - they aim to challenge consumer throwaway culture and encourage resourcefulness and reuse. They help share practical skills and build confidence so our neighbors can take on their own projects. We hope that Repair Fairs show that a community can come together to fix, build, and create the things they need.

What's Next? Get Involved!

Weren’t able to make the event? Still have some broken stuff you don’t want to part with? Want to volunteer to help people fix and build things?

Thanks so much all - we hope to see you at the next one!
