Maker Advent
Christmas do it together
Maker Advent is all about making. Build your own candle arches, bake biscuits, print cards or fold gift wrapping - this is where truly unique items are created. Workshops and studios open their doors, creative people from Chemnitz and the region share their passion and invite you to work, turn, make lace, print, bake and hat.
When: 24 November to 30 December 2025
Where? Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture region
Creating something together that lasts
330 events in 42 cities and municipalities - everywhere people are trying things out, creating and sharing knowledge. Whether ceramics, wood, textiles, upcycling or digital technologies: The Maker Advent brings people together for whom it is not the perfect result that counts, but the shared experience.
A region shows its creative heart
The Maker Advent is the creative finale of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025. Markets, open workshops and art projects will light up the region and show what happens when tradition and innovation meet. The programme is international, multilingual and open to all - in German, English, Ukrainian, Arabic, Japanese, Dutch and Czech.
