41st Arts and Crafts Market

What's it about?

Artful unique pieces, creative encounters and the special atmosphere directly on Lake Ossiach make the arts and crafts market in Ossiach a popular meeting point for art and craft enthusiasts. Around 130 artists from Austria and neighboring countries present their diverse works. Whether ceramics, glass, wood, metal, leather, textiles or painting: visitors can expect an extraordinary selection of handmade unique pieces, creative gift ideas and artistic one-offs. A special highlight in 2026 is the "Carousel of Found Objects". An old bathtub, gas cylinders and other discarded everyday objects have been transformed into an imaginative, handmade merry-go-round. The carousel requires no electricity and is powered by muscle power. Meanwhile, children and young people can ride in the bathtub boat or on the gas cylinder rocket. An experience for young and old visitors that impressively shows how something new and special can emerge from seemingly discarded items.
