Looking for fun activities for your kids? Or how about a new wildlife documentary film screening? Or maybe, a workshop on gardening or bike repair? Our calendar features upcoming community events for those who enjoy a mix of outdoors, activism, creativity, and learning. All event submissions are reviewed for relevancy and accuracy and are posted within 24-48 hours Monday-Friday.
The Environmental Affairs Committee of the City of Gaithersburg is excited to host the City’s THIRD Fix it Fair Saturday, June 1st, 2024 from 9 am to 1 pm at the Casey Community center. In this event you can bring in an item and potentially have it fixed for free! This is an effort to reduce items that enter our landfills.
Available fixing areas
-Textile/clothing repairs
-Tool sharpening & mower blade sharpening
-Jewelry
-Lamps
-Small appliances
-Bicycle Maintenance – Tube patching, alignment and oiling
Residents are encouraged to register with reasonably detailed descriptions for up to two different items per person. Please register for one time slot per fix request. Our volunteer fixers review repair requests prior to the event. If we do not believe a repair can be completed, requesters will receive a cancellation notice and waitlisted requests will be contacted. All attendees must sign a hold harmless agreement before repairs begin.
