HANDWERK live - held in Leipzig under the trade name "Mitteldeutsche Handwerksmesse" until 2024, is an event that takes place annually in February and presents the wide range of services and the high quality of individual craftsmanship. Since its inception in 1998, the fair has evolved into one of the most significant forums for crafts. It is organized by Leipziger Messe GmbH, an experienced coordinator of large-scale events. The fair is distinguished by its variety of industry focal points. These include construction and expansion, living, arts and crafts, health and lifestyle, food crafts, vehicles, and rare craftsmanship. This thematic diversity reflects the depth and breadth of artisanal skills in Central Germany and provides a platform for craft businesses to convey values such as trust, warranty, quality, and individuality. A unique feature of the fair is the opportunity for businesses to assess the market potential of their products and services. Consumers have the chance to test and compare these offerings without obligation. This interactive aspect transforms the fair from merely an exhibition to a vibrant marketplace. The event takes place at the Leipzig Fair, a modern and easily accessible location known for its excellent infrastructure and capacity to host large events. The combination of top-notch exhibition halls and comprehensive service offerings makes this venue ideal for an event of this magnitude. On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 9 days of the fair, from 11. February to 19. February 2023, about 118 exhibitors and 153000 visitors on the HANDWERK live in Leipzig. The HANDWERK live will take place on 9 days from Saturday, 31. January to Sunday, 08. February 2026 in Leipzig.
