KoblenzKreativ Koblenz

KoblenzKreativ is an annual consumer exhibition dedicated to crafts, needlework, DIY and creative making. Held at the EPG ARENA Koblenz, it attracts large numbers of craft enthusiasts from across the region every year. The event's name combines the historic city of Koblenz with the diverse world of creative ideas, clearly reflecting its focus on inspiration, craftsmanship and the enjoyment of making things by hand. The exhibition is organised by Okken GmbH, an experienced organiser of both consumer and trade fairs. Through KoblenzKreativ, the company provides a platform where the latest trends, innovative materials and established craft techniques are showcased side by side.

The exhibition covers virtually every aspect of the creative hobby sector. Exhibitors present arts and crafts supplies, fabrics, patchwork materials, wool, yarns, felt, haberdashery, buttons and sewing accessories, alongside painting and drawing materials, paper crafts, origami, scrapbooking, stamping supplies, jewellery-making materials including beads and gemstones, as well as embroidery and diamond painting products. The range is further complemented by handcrafted goods, baking and cake decorating supplies, and contemporary DIY trends such as resin crafting, Jesmonite, casting compounds and silicone moulds. Visitors can explore high-quality materials and tools, purchase unique handmade creations, benefit from expert advice, and discover a wide range of products and services for creative hobbies and traditional crafts.

One of the exhibition's highlights is its extensive programme of hands-on workshops and live demonstrations. These give visitors the opportunity to try out new techniques for themselves while receiving practical advice from manufacturers, artists and specialist retailers. Creative activities for families and children further enhance the programme, making KoblenzKreativ far more than a traditional retail exhibition. Instead, it offers an engaging and interactive experience for visitors of all ages.

Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the creative industries, including arts and crafts supplies, needlework, textiles, handicrafts, stationery, jewellery design, creative materials, hobby products, baking accessories, and the wider DIY and creative sectors. The exhibition attracts hobby crafters, sewing and needlework enthusiasts, artists, designers, craftspeople, creative professionals, families, and anyone interested in discovering new techniques or purchasing high-quality materials directly from exhibitors.

The event takes place at the modern EPG ARENA Koblenz. The venue benefits from excellent road links and convenient access to public transport, making it easily reachable both from Koblenz Central Station and the surrounding region. Ample on-site parking and its central location ensure a convenient visit, making KoblenzKreativ an attractive destination for visitors from Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and neighbouring areas.

The KoblenzKreativ will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 10. October to Sunday, 11. October 2026 in Koblenz.
