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)
* 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. 

*RSVP here* [ [link removed]? ]


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.





Why repair instead of replace? 

We can reduce waste and support a circular economy by extending the life of household items through maintenance and repair rather than buying new. Repair is an empowering practice and can be a viable option for residents of Kitsap County. When you choose to repair your items instead of replacing them you are saving money, keeping materials out of the landfill, and building a resilient, connected, and sustainable community.

Get involved

We need your help! We're looking for five more fixers that can help repair household appliances, bikes, or other items at the Bremerton Fix-it Fair! Submit a volunteer interest form on our webpage [ [link removed] ].

Can you mend, repair, or fix? We're seeking skilled fixers to repair items. Volunteer at Kitsap Fix-it Fairs! [ [link removed] ]Tools in a line
