Handwerk Live

According to the organiser, Handwerk live takes place from 6 to 14 February 2027 in Leipzig, Germany. The motto is "Erlebe Tradition. Entdecke Innovation." (experience tradition, discover innovation). The organiser's site has visitor information with tickets and prices, plus pages on arrival, parking and accommodation.

The organiser describes it as one of Germany's leading craft fairs since 1998, making the quality and individuality of craft products and services tangible. It shows both the tradition of craft through presentations and demonstrations and the innovation that motivates people to learn a trade and keeps crafts fit for the future.

The Handwerksforum Ost (HAFO) is described by the organiser as an important public exchange platform with leading figures from politics, crafts, business and science on current challenges for the craft sector. It takes place in Hall 5 on the stage. The programme and registration are published on the official site.

The organiser says a wide range of craft businesses, chambers of crafts and guilds present the diversity of the trades, with their products and the quality and individuality of their work. Regional chambers of crafts from several central and eastern German states are listed as partners on the site.

The organiser states that the patronage for 2027 lies with Saxony and that it changes every year. The site also notes that, from 2027, visitors can experience craft in action again, with live demonstrations of trades at the Leipzig exhibition grounds. Visitor information is on the official site.

Yes. Handwerk live runs together with Haus-Garten-Freizeit, and the two fairs share themed islands such as Craft and Building, Gourmet and More, and a family experience. Both run from 6 to 14 February 2027 in Leipzig, so one visit can cover both, according to the organiser.
