No two nights look exactly the same, and each one offers an easy, welcoming way to explore, make, and connect.

Bring a project you’re already working on, try something new with provided supplies, or simply enjoy making alongside others (no class commitment required).

    Guests are invited to wander the fascinating former factory that houses MadJax, meet local Makers, Sip & Shop, catch live music, and take in new artwork. MadJax will be open for tours, giving visitors a chance to explore the maker spaces, studios, and creative businesses housed throughout the building. FREE Admission and FREE Parking!
