Got a broken toaster? A wobbly bike wheel? A moth-eaten sweater? Don’t toss it—bring it to Repair Café Traverse City and give it a second life.

This free, donation-based community event pairs attendees with skilled volunteers who help repair household items—from electronics and clothing to bicycles and furniture. You bring the item. We provide the tools. Our volunteers bring the know-how.

How it works:
Bring items for repair: Come with anything from a pair of ripped jeans to a broken plate or an old bike.

Get paired with a fixer: Check in and get matched with a skilled fixer who will help repair your item.

Repair your item: Learn how to repair your item with the guidance of a volunteer and all the tools needed for basic repairs.

Optional donation.
