Tech Events in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown

Dublin Maker Returns THIS AUGUST - Ireland's biggest Maker Festival - A free event celebrating creativity, innovation and community

Dublin Maker is a free to attend, community run event, which will be held in Leopardstown Racecourse on Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd August 2026 (10am - 5pm).

Dublin Maker takes the form of a “show and tell” experience where inventors/makers sourced through an open call, will have an opportunity to showcase their creations in a carnival atmosphere. It is a family friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making and share what they are learning.

Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, artists, science clubs, students, authors and commercial exhibitors. They are of all ages and backgrounds, coming from all over Ireland and beyond. Dublin Maker’s mission is to entertain, inform and connect the makers of Ireland, while inspiring the next generation of Ireland’s makers and inventors.

This event is funded with the support of Research Ireland and our other Lovely Sponsors.
