wooden toys on mainstage!

The European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 and DENKSTATT jointly invite you to the European Toymaking Festival.

Wood meets the future, tradition meets design: in Seiffen - the toy village in the Ore Mountains - we celebrate craftsmanship anew.

Wooden toy makers from the region and all over Europe will show how creative, innovative and lively this ancient craft can be.

Whether it's a workshop, demonstration or hands-on station - here you can turn, play and marvel. For families, the curious and professionals.

The highlight: the former adventure pool becomes a festival location - Lost Place goes Happy Place - with music, street food and festival flair.

Come along - and experience how wooden toys connect Europe!
