When your stuff breaks, you should have the right to repair it. We’ll show you how!
Join us for our return to the West Side Bazaar. Bring your broken stuff and your appetite, as there are awesome restaurants to choose from before or after your repair. We're thankful to be sponsored by Councilman Rivera of the Niagara District and our partnership with WEDI.
Dare to Repair Cafes are pop-up community events where individuals can bring broken items and have a team of volunteer fixers try to repair the item alongside them FOR FREE!
Current repair categories include:
- Small electronics
- PCs and Laptops
- Sewing Machines
- Clothing & textiles
- Lamps
- Vacuums
- Bicycles
- Furniture
- Sharpening
- Power tools & more!
Please no gas powered items, cellphones, or TVs.
Learn a new skill, save money, and help save the planet!
Please be sure to RSVP on our website so we know what sort of repairs to expect and we can ensure we've got a fixer who can help you

Every month, the West Side Bazaar hosts Bartending for a Cause, a community-driven series that partners with local non-profits. This peer-to-peer fundraising event features a guest bartender from the organization, with all tips directly supporting their mission. This month, we are thrilled to welcome Stitch Buffalo behind the bar!
Stitch Buffalo was founded in 2014 with the simple desire to gather and create—but has grown into a fully equipped textile arts center. Stitch Buffalo is committed to empowering refugee and immigrant women through the sale of their handcrafted goods, inspiring creativity and inclusion through community education, and stewarding the environment through the re-use of textile supplies.
