Repair Station

Maine GearShare will be offering free gear repair throughout the event. Drop off gear in need of repair, then browse the market or grab lunch while our staff give your gear new life.  ALL ITEMS MUST BE CLEAN.

Common repair types accepted: stuck or misaligned zippers, nylon with rips, puffy coat holes, broken backpack buckles and straps, seam failures, etc. Some stoves, tents, snowshoes and other hard goods can be repaired on a case-by-case basis. Unsure? Bring it and find out.

Thank you for making our 2024 Gear Again Fest such a success!

We saw a 95% increase in attendance in our second year of the Gear Again Festival!

It was incredibly empowering to watch connections being made, gear being repaired, new treasures being discovered, and so much passion for sustainability and outdoor recreation.
