Step away from the tools, screens, printers, lasers, and half-finished projects and join us for a laid-back Waukesha Makerspace Summer Picnic ☀️

We’ll be gathering at Hales Corners Park, Picnic Area #2 for a full, no-pressure day of good company and fresh air. This is a bring-your-own food and drinks picnic. You’re welcome to bring something to share if you feel like it, but there’s absolutely no obligation. Bringing food and drinks just for yourself is 100% acceptable and never judged.

Alcohol isn’t frowned upon, but this is very much a be responsible, be respectful kind of afternoon. The goal is relaxed, not rowdy.

Expect casual games like bocce ball, frisbee, and other “we’re here to relax, not compete” classics. Feel free to bring any games you enjoy. The real objective is conversation, laughter, and enjoying time with fellow makers without an agenda or a stopwatch.

Bring your own chairs, blankets, or other comfy setup. Picnic tables are typically available, but personal comfort is king.

This picnic is a long-running tradition. Tom and Casey have been hosting this get-together for nearly 20 years, and it’s truly rain or shine. We usually bring EZ-Up awnings just in case, and believe it or not, the rainy years have still been a blast.

Family and partners are welcome. Come for the whole day or just swing by when you can. Build nothing. Fix nothing. Just exist pleasantly with good people.

  • Time: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
