A celebration of our blue-collar community. Here's everything you need to know.

// A Full-Day Festival

Built For Everyone
In The Trades

Competitors shouldn't have all the fun. Come cheer on a friend, heckle a coworker, bring the family, or just spend the day surrounded by people who appreciate real skill, hard work, craftsmanship, and the blue-collar community.

The Fabricator Olympics may have started with competition at its core, but it has grown into something much bigger: a full-day skilled trades festival built for competitors, families, industry professionals, makers, kids, and anyone who enjoys seeing people create, build, weld, fabricate, and work with their hands.

Watch some of the best fabricators in the industry go head-to-head, then explore everything else happening around the grounds. Check out the Metal Art Competition, step into the Anyone Can Weld booth, browse the Trades & Vendor Expo, shop the Makers Market, and let younger guests get hands-on in the Junior Trades Experience.

Throughout the day you'll also find live demonstrations, spectator games and challenges, special guests, sponsor showcases, raffles, giveaways, music, plenty of places to hang out, and a lineup of food trucks serving up enough options to keep everyone fed.

Whether you work in the trades, own a business, love tools and trucks, make things for a living, are raising the next generation of tradespeople, or simply want to experience what this community is all about — there's something here for you. It's competitive. It's family-friendly. It's hands-on. It's a little loud, a little gritty, and built around the camaraderie, pride, and skill that make the blue-collar community what it is.
