What is MFG Day/ Month? 

Launched annually on the first Friday in October with events that continue throughout the month, MFG Day helps show the reality of modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, parents, teachers and community leaders. MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive.

It’s not too early to begin your company’s event planning; the beauty of MFG Day is you can plan it any day in October, hold one event or several, open your doors to the public or host a private/ invite only event, etc. There are so many possibilities and the cost can be minimal to you.  Plan, Host and Find an event along with many FREE resources at MFG Day 2026!
