Bring your friends, family, and fellow community members to enjoy local craftsmanship and support community-wide connection at the Festival of Sparks! This year’s festival turns our 8,000 sq ft facility into a public vendor fair, with our in-house claw machine, a national robotics team, food trucks, auction, artists and crafters, and a few surprises – like having your portrait drawn by our 8ft CNC router, and a special appearance by our interstellar guest R2-D2.

Our 400+ members build everything from innovative new products to animatronic parrots and casket-shaped go-karts. They create steady local demand for materials, supplies, and places to eat. Festival of Sparks puts hundreds of them – plus the wider community – directly in front of the businesses who support us. We hope that you can join us in supporting and celebrating creativity and entrepreneurship in Thurston County and Beyond.
