MACHart Festival: Creative & Artisan Market, May 24 & 25
Around 100 creative makers will transform May 24–25 in the historic Alte Kongresshalle into a festival celebrating creativity and craftsmanship. Whether you're drawn to handmade goods, emerging ideas, or artisanal design, this is your destination. The MACHart brings together fashion, food, lifestyle, art, and DIY under one roof—a vibrant space brimming with inspiration, unique creations, and hands-on workshops. Small Producers, Big Visions Explore handcrafted creativity firsthand: innovative startups, bespoke products, and independent makers. Discover Kadmos Kulturverlag's literary take on Munich's wildlife, Flügge Clothing's sustainable fashion upcycling, organic dates, and countless other creative highlights—all from makers who pour their passion into everything they create.
Workshops & Hands-On Creativity Looking to get creative yourself? MACHart is where inspiration meets action. Master the art of cocktail mixing or schnapps distilling. Screen-print your own garment. Try your hand at sewing or create your own tufted carpet. Design custom candles, dried flower arrangements, jewelry, or fine-line tattoos. Explore cyanotype and dotting techniques. The possibilities are endless—and the fun is guaranteed. Bringing the whole family? Young visitors will enjoy storytelling on Saturday and puppet theater on Sunday, plus face painting, glitter tattoos, and a dedicated kids' crafting area both days. For little ones aged 5+, the "Elephant Courage for Kids" workshop teaches children to cultivate inner strength and resilience.
Culinary Delights for Every Palate From gourmet hot dogs and craft burgers to Cuban fare, crêpes, and artisan ice cream—foodies will find plenty to savor as they explore the Alte Kongresshalle, coffee in hand from a local roastery.
