2014 East Bay Mini Maker Faire Sunday, October 19, 2014 | 10 am to 5 pm Park Day School, 360 42nd St., Oakland Funcheap Deal: Use promo code FUNCHEAP for 15% off tickets. (Regular price: $14 in advance, $20 at the door) The East Bay Mini Maker Faire follows the “big” Maker Faire model of celebrating invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, but is smaller in scale (150+ makers vs. 900 makers; 6,000+ people on one day vs. 65,000) and will showcase the wonders of Alameda and Contra Costa counties and beyond. FunCheap says: This event is a little pricier than we’re used to, but we think it’s pretty amazing and brimming with creativity, so it’s worth the splurge.
