TEN MORE DAYS!! Fabricator Olympics 2026 is almost here! There’s still time to register to compete or grab your advance spectator tickets! (Only advanced ticket holders are eligible to claim swag bags at the gate this year — available first come, first served, while supplies last.)
Whether you work in the trades every day, want your kids to see a different side of the skilled trades that built America, or simply want to spend a Saturday surrounded by some seriously talented people — this day is about celebrating skill, grit, craftsmanship and the people who keep our country running.
BRING THE FAMILY! Kids 8+ are now welcome to attend! *they still cannot enter the competition pavilion but there will be plenty of other things to do.
Throughout the day you’ll find:
• Live fabrication competition + metal art competition
• Welding rig truck show (FO ticket holders have no additional cost to enter trucks - Awesome 1st place prize & trophies for first-second-third)
• Games, activities, prizes & family fun
• Tools, trades demos, vendors, deals & giveaways
• Silent auction + raffles
• Food trucks + B**r tent featuring Seven Sirens Brewing Company
• Incredible craftsmen, business owners, creators and tradespeople from across the industry
🇺🇸 This year also carries a very important date in our country's history that we cannot forget.
We are honored to partner with Jerry Boertzel of Welded Metal Art for the unveiling and completion of his remarkable 9/11 Memorial Project, commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Built to work. Called to help. United to rebuild.
We’re also excited to welcome back Jason Becker of Arc Junkies Podcast & UnderGround Metal Works, huite of tradesman experience & collar insider, and johnson of business owners podcast & fabrication — along with an incredible community of tradespeople coming together for the day.
And none of this happens without the companies and people who believe in this mission. A huge thank-you to our sponsors, vendors, donors, judges and volunteers, including Lincoln Electric Retail, Wilson Products & Aaron Schaffer, FFJournal Magazine and Seamless, for helping us create an event that puts the skilled trades where they belong: front and center.
