Christmas hands-on activities: The Maker Advent 2025

From 24 November to 30 December, Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture Region will be transformed into a Christmas workshop. During these five weeks, studios, workshops, museums and clubs will open their doors so that all kinds of crafts can be tried out.

The workshops and craft workshops range from digital production, woodwork, paper and fashion design to floristry, jewellery and ceramics. If you haven't got your Christmas presents together yet but want to give something creative, this is the place to be! The Maker Advent is also an opportunity for all craft enthusiasts or family outings to get to know the region and its (maker) traditions with a Christmas touch.
