Since 2006 the subculture has held regular events around the world, Maker Faire, which in 2012 drew a crowd of 120,000 attendees.[43][44] Smaller, community driven Maker Faires referred to as Mini Maker Fairs are also held in various places where an O'Reilly-organised Maker Faire has not yet been held.[45][46][47][48] Maker Faire provides a Mini Maker Faire starter kit to encourage the spread of local Maker Faire events.[49]
