Maker Advent

Homemade is always the best! That's why Chemnitz 2025 is turning the Advent season into a hands-on time. At the Maker Advent, workshops, associations, artists and creative people in Chemnitz and the Capital of Culture region invite you to work, turn, make lace, print, bake, make hats and sing together.

Because the region has always been characterized by the spirit of do-it-yourself. The Maker Advent creates meeting places and brings people together. It is an invitation to everyone to discover new places and activities and to get creative together with other people.

The next Maker Advent will take place from 25 November to 23 December 2024.
