About the event
Have something broken, worn out, or in need of a little TLC? Don't throw it away just yet. Join us for a Pop-Up Repair Café and give your items a second life.
A Repair Café is a community event where residents bring household items in need of repair and work alongside volunteers to see if they can be fixed. The goal is simple: repair, reuse, and keep useful items out of the landfill.
Bring your small household items, clothing, electronics, toys, tools, and other repairable items, and let our volunteer fixers take a look. You'll have the chance to learn basic repair skills, ask questions, and discover that sometimes a broken item just needs a little time and know-how to become useful again.
Repairs are not guaranteed, but our volunteers will do their best to help diagnose the problem and determine whether an item can be repaired.
