Repair Fair and Halloween Costume & Decor Swap
Visitors bring broken lamps, small appliances, textiles, and bicycles to be diagnosed and mended by volunteer fixers and repair professionals. Attendees remain with their items during the process to learn maintenance tips, shopping advice for repairable goods, and do-it-yourself fixing techniques. The event also features a community exchange where guests can drop off clean, gently used Halloween costumes, props, and seasonal decorations to swap for new-to-them items.
