Kitsap Fix-It Fair

Saturday, July 11, 2026, 11:00am

Do you have something broken at home? Bring it to a Fix-It Fair! Instead of throwing it away, see if it can be repaired. This free event helps reduce waste by extending the life of household items through repair rather than replacement.


Join us on Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bremerton - Sylvan Way Kitsap Regional Library, 1301 Sylvan Way, Bremerton.

 

Hosted by the Kitsap County Solid Waste Division in partnership with the Bremerton - Sylvan Way Kitsap Regional Library, the Fix-It Fair connects residents with skilled volunteer fixers who will attempt to repair items while sharing practical repair tips and techniques.


Kitsap County residents can bring up to two items for volunteer fixers to assess and attempt repairs.


Interested in volunteering?

If you have mending or repairing skills that you’d like to share, join us as a fixer! We’re also looking for volunteers to help run the events. If you’re interested in volunteering fill out our volunteer interest form!
