Museum of Idaho plans a jammed packed weekend for eastern Idaho

Museum of Idaho brings a couple of events to keep eastern Idaho busy this weekend. The Museum is hosting the Steampunk Street Party and the first-ever Marker Faire.

On Friday, the Museum is inviting anyone 21 and over to stop BY for live music, food, adult beverages and science games. Top hats, corsets and any steampunk costumes are encouraged as you watch the sun go down.

Tickets are $20. The party starts at 7 p.m. and runs until 11 p.m. at the Museum of Idaho.

Tickets also get you admission to check out the “Discover Steampunk” exhibit.

Saturday, The Idaho Falls-Ammon Mini Maker Faire will be held on Eastern Avenue in front of the Museum of Idaho from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

A Maker Faire is a gathering of people, like engineers and crafters, to show off their inventions, hobbies, experiments, and projects for the public. This will be the first-ever Maker Faire held in Eastern Idaho.

The public can enter a virtual-reality environment, direct a robot crawler, race remote-controlled teapots, make visible sound waves, and use maker spaces to create art, jewelry, gadgets, and more. Food trucks and other vendors will also be on hand for those who attend.

Bruce Rosenbaum, the creator of MOI’s current “Discover Steampunk” exhibit, will also in attendance to interact with guests to explore the displays.

The Maker Faire is free to attend.
