About the Event
WHAT IS
FIX IT FAIR?
We live in a throwaway culture, something breaks, we replace it. Fix It Fair flips that. Bring your broken item, meet a skilled fixer, and walk away knowing how to repair it yourself.
This isn't just about saving money. It's about building independence, confidence, and real skills while making a dent in waste. Every repair is one less item in the bin.
Open to everyone. No experience needed. Just bring curiosity and your broken thing.

Why It Matters
OUR
IMPACT
Reduce Waste
Every repaired item is one less in landfill. Repairing is the simplest, most powerful act of sustainability.
When you know how to fix things, you depend less on replacements and more on your own skills, for life.
Build Independence
Repair events bring people together through shared knowledge and a collective commitment to living better.
Grow Community
