Wolle-Festival Falkensee

The Wolle-Festival is an annual public trade fair dedicated to wool, yarns and textile crafts. Over the years, it has established itself as a leading meeting place for creative craftsmanship, premium-quality materials and the exchange of ideas within the knitting and fibre arts community. The event is held annually at the Stadthalle Falkensee and is organised by Lorenz GmbH. With many years of experience in organising trade fairs and festivals, the company has successfully established the Wolle-Festival as a registered brand.

The exhibition showcases high-quality natural fibres and premium yarns, including Merino wool, alpaca, mohair, cashmere, cotton and silk, alongside sustainably produced and hand-dyed yarns. Visitors can also explore a comprehensive range of accessories for both traditional and contemporary needlecraft, including knitting needles, crochet hooks, circular knitting accessories, stitch markers, yarn winders, swifts, scissors, buttons and a wide variety of other tools and supplies. In addition, exhibitors present knitting and crochet patterns, sewing patterns, handcrafted one-of-a-kind pieces, designer creations and finely crafted textile products. Traditional textile crafts such as felting, spinning, weaving and knotting also form an integral part of the exhibition programme, highlighting the diversity of textile craftsmanship.

One of the festival's defining features is its combination of shopping, knowledge sharing and hands-on experiences. Visitors can watch experienced textile artists demonstrate their skills, discover new techniques and take part in workshops where practical craft skills are taught by experts. As a result, the event provides an inspiring platform for creative exchange, bringing together the latest trends, innovative materials and traditional craftsmanship under one roof.

Exhibitors primarily represent the yarn manufacturing, textile design, artisan crafts, needlecraft accessories and wool retail sectors, as well as independent workshops and designer brands. Many travel from across Germany and other European countries to showcase exclusive collections and handcrafted pieces that are often unavailable through conventional retail channels. The festival attracts enthusiastic knitters and crocheters, textile artists, designers, yarn shop owners, creative professionals and hobby crafters looking for premium materials, expert advice and fresh inspiration for their projects.

The Wolle-Festival is of considerable importance to Falkensee and the wider Brandenburg region. Each year, it attracts visitors from Berlin, Brandenburg and other parts of Germany, reinforcing Falkensee's reputation as an attractive venue for specialist creative trade fairs. At the same time, the event reflects the growing demand for sustainable consumption, traditional craftsmanship and individually crafted products. The Wolle-Festival also forms part of Lorenz GmbH's nationwide portfolio of events and is held annually at several locations across Germany, enabling both exhibitors and visitors to benefit from a broad national network.

As a modern, fully accessible venue, Stadthalle Falkensee provides ideal facilities for hosting the festival. Its convenient location on the outskirts of Berlin makes it easily accessible by both car and public transport. Visitors benefit from its proximity to the Berlin city boundary, excellent regional rail connections and ample parking facilities, creating ideal conditions for guests travelling from Brandenburg, Berlin and throughout Germany.

The Wolle-Festival will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 26. September to Sunday, 27. September 2026 in Falkensee.
