Imagine a day where your invention, installation, hands-on workshop, or unusual project takes center stage — surrounded by curious visitors of all ages who come to explore, learn, and get inspired.

We’re thrilled to announce the first-ever Maker Faire in Herzegovina, taking place on October 4th, 2025, in the heart of Mostar — and we would be honored to have YOU as one of our featured makers!

Whether you’re a tech innovator, a traditional craftsperson, a creative educator, or a DIY enthusiast, this is your chance to showcase what you do, spark new connections, and join a growing community of makers in the Western Balkans.

We are truly inspired by what you create. That’s why we’re reaching out — because Maker Faire Mostar wouldn’t be the same without you.

What is a Maker Faire?

Maker Faire is a global movement born in the U.S. in 2006, celebrating all forms of creativity and "do-it-yourself" spirit. Often called “The Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth,” it gathers makers of all kinds: from tech enthusiasts, artists, designers, educators, and engineers, to crafters and students of all ages.
