Kitsap County Solid Waste Division, in partnership with Kitsap Regional Library and Village Green Community Center, is hosting a Fix-it Fair next weekend! Fix-it Fairs are free community gatherings where you can get your broken belongings repaired by local volunteer fixers with a variety of skills and knowledge.
When: November 2, 2024, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Participants must arrive by 1:00 p.m. Those who arrive after 1:00 p.m. will be asked to attend a future event.
Where: Kitsap Regional Library, Kingston Branch at the Village Green Community Center, 26159 Dulay Rd. NE, Kingston, WA 98346.

 What broken items can be brought to this event?
Kitsap residents are welcome to bring one or two items per event. Fixers will attempt repairs on one item at a time. If there’s time, you can join the line again with your second item. However, we may limit repairs to one item if the event is busy.
At this event, fixers will attempt to repair:
- mendable clothing and textiles like tablecloths, curtains, jeans, and more (sorry, no zippers)
- computers and PCs
- glasses (minor repairs like nose pad replacements and tightening of screws)
- jewelry
- holiday string lights
- small household appliances like lamps, vacuums, toasters, and more!
RSVP requested
Let us know what you're bringing so our fixers can prepare. This is not an appointment and is not required. All of our events are first-come, first-served.
Get ready!
After you RSVP, get your broken items ready for the event. Before visiting the Fix-it Fair, please:
- clean your item(s)
- bring any instructions or manuals
- purchase and bring your repair part, if you know what part is needed. If you don’t know, that’s okay! Fixers at the event can help you know which parts are needed. We'll have some small parts available at the event, but you’ll need to buy special parts. You may need to return to a future event to finish the repair.
