À quoi s’attendre en 2026

Il Mondo Creativo 2026 is the autumn edition of the established creative hobbies and DIY exhibition held at BolognaFiere in Bologna, Italy. The event brings together exhibitors, makers, craft specialists, creative businesses and hobby enthusiasts around materials, equipment, handmade products, decorative ideas and practical creative techniques. It is designed for visitors who want to discover new projects, purchase supplies, meet specialist exhibitors and participate in hands-on activities.

The 2026 edition is scheduled for November 26–29, 2026, with visitor hours from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. The exhibition combines commercial stands with workshops, demonstrations and creative experiences, making it more than a conventional shopping fair. Visitors can explore products for sewing, embroidery, jewellery making, paper crafts, decoration, handmade accessories and other creative hobbies.

A significant feature of the event is its combination of traditional crafts with contemporary creative trends. Areas such as Handmade Stories provide space for handmade creations and independent makers, while ReMade focuses on sustainable creativity, recycled materials and environmentally conscious design. The event can therefore appeal to both experienced crafters and visitors discovering creative hobbies for the first time.

Lieu et site d’exposition

Il Mondo Creativo 2026 will take place at BolognaFiere, Piazza della Costituzione, 40128 Bologna, Italy. BolognaFiere is one of Italy’s major exhibition complexes and hosts numerous national and international trade fairs, public exhibitions and specialist events throughout the year.

The fairground contains around 375,000 square metres of indoor and outdoor exhibition space and approximately 20 exhibition halls. Several independent entrances serve different sections of the complex, while dedicated road access connects the venue with Bologna’s motorway and ring-road system.

For Il Mondo Creativo visitors, Piazza della Costituzione is particularly important because it is the entrance specified in the event’s visitor information. Visitors arriving by public transport can reach the fairground from Bologna Centrale railway station, while drivers can use the dedicated BolognaFiere road network and nearby parking facilities.

Because several exhibitions can operate at BolognaFiere at the same time, visitors should follow the current signs and event-specific directions once they arrive at the complex.

Comment y arriver

BolognaFiere is approximately 4 kilometres from Bologna Centrale railway station. Visitors arriving by train can continue to the exhibition centre using local bus services, with routes 35 and 38 specifically connecting the station area with BolognaFiere.

Visitors travelling by car can reach the exhibition complex through Bologna’s motorway and ring-road network. The Bologna Fiera motorway exit provides direct access to the exhibition district, while ring-road Exit 7 is associated with the Costituzione entrance.

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is approximately 8.5–9 kilometres from BolognaFiere. Travellers can use taxis or continue through Bologna’s public transport network. The Marconi Express provides a rapid connection between the airport and Bologna Centrale, from where visitors can continue towards the fairground.

Because traffic around major exhibitions can become busy, visitors travelling by car should allow additional time for parking and walking to the correct entrance.

Transports en commun et stationnement

Public transport provides several options for reaching BolognaFiere. The official event information identifies bus lines 28, 35, 38 and 39 as useful services for reaching the exhibition complex from Bologna’s central areas, with lines 35 and 38 particularly relevant for connections from Bologna Centrale.

The official event information lists BolognaFiere parking at €6 per day. Using the ECB reference exchange rate of €1 = $1.1539 for September 15, 2026, this equals approximately $6.92 per day.

Visitors using private vehicles should follow the latest signs directing traffic toward the appropriate parking area and entrance. BolognaFiere has multiple parking zones, and the most convenient area can depend on the entrance being used.

Public transport may be particularly convenient during busy weekend periods because parking demand can increase when several events are taking place simultaneously at the exhibition complex.

Zones d’hébergement

Visitors travelling from outside Bologna can choose accommodation in several areas depending on whether they prioritise access to the exhibition centre, the railway station or the city’s historic attractions.

The BolognaFiere district is convenient for visitors who want to minimise daily travel to the exhibition. Hotels around Bologna Centrale are useful for travellers arriving by train and provide easy connections to both the exhibition centre and central Bologna.

Bologna’s historic centre is another practical option, particularly for visitors combining Il Mondo Creativo with sightseeing. Staying centrally provides access to restaurants, shops, museums and Bologna’s historic attractions while still allowing visitors to travel to the fairground by public transport.

Accommodation should be booked early for popular exhibition periods because Bologna regularly hosts multiple major events and trade fairs.

Accessibilité

BolognaFiere provides services for visitors with disabilities and reduced mobility. The exhibition complex includes accessible public areas and designated parking spaces for visitors with disabilities near public entrances.

Mobility equipment can also be requested from BolognaFiere service personnel. The venue’s accessibility information indicates that manually pushed wheelchairs or mobility equipment can be made available free of charge.

The Il Mondo Creativo visitor information states that a disabled visitor and one accompanying person can receive free admission when the required documentation is presented at the ticket office.

Visitors requiring specific assistance should contact the organiser or BolognaFiere before arrival so that they can confirm the most suitable entrance and available services.

Faits marquants de l’année précédente

The 2025 edition took place from November 27–30 at BolognaFiere. The event formed part of a broader exhibition programme that brought several specialist exhibitions and markets together within the BolognaFiere complex.

The previous edition included creative and handmade activities alongside complementary exhibitions. Handmade Stories provided a marketplace for independent handmade products, including accessories, clothing, bags, home decorations, toys, children’s products, stationery and jewellery.

Sustainable creativity was also represented through ReMade. The section focuses on creative products made through recycling, reuse and environmentally conscious approaches, giving visitors an alternative perspective on handmade production and design.

The event’s broader format also included demonstrations and courses, helping visitors combine shopping with practical creative learning. These elements are expected to remain relevant to the 2026 visitor experience, although the final 2026 programme should be checked for confirmed activities.

Billets officiels et inscription

The official Il Mondo Creativo visitor information provides several ticket categories for the 2026 edition. Visitors can purchase tickets through the event’s official channels, with online options available for those who want to organise admission before arriving at BolognaFiere.

For Thursday, November 26, the published full admission is $10.39, converted from the organiser’s €9 price. For Friday through Sunday, the standard admission is $17.31, converted from €15.

The Sunday Happy Ticket is listed at $5.77 for admission from 5:00 pm. Children under six can enter free under the organiser’s stated conditions, while the organiser also provides free admission for a disabled visitor and one accompanying person when the required documentation is presented.

These dollar amounts are converted using the ECB reference rate of €1 = $1.1539 on September 15, 2026. Payment providers may apply their own exchange rates or fees.

Collections de meubles et d’intérieur

Il Mondo Creativo is primarily a creative hobbies and DIY exhibition rather than a dedicated furniture trade fair. Therefore, visitors should not expect the extensive furniture collections normally found at specialist furniture and interior-design exhibitions.

Nevertheless, interior-related creativity is represented through handmade home decorations, decorative objects, accessories and creative products intended for residential spaces. Handmade Stories can also include original objects and decorative pieces produced by independent makers.

The ReMade area is relevant to visitors interested in sustainable interiors because its concept includes creative objects and design products made using recycled, reused or environmentally conscious materials.

The focus is therefore on smaller-scale creative and decorative objects rather than complete furniture collections or large interior installations.

Salles et sections d’exposition

BolognaFiere is a large exhibition complex containing numerous halls, but the specific hall assignment for Il Mondo Creativo should be checked against the official 2026 event information before visiting.

The event’s principal thematic components include the core creative-hobbies exhibition, Handmade Stories and ReMade. These areas provide different experiences within the wider exhibition.

Handmade Stories concentrates on handmade products and independent creative businesses, while ReMade focuses on sustainability, recycling, reuse and environmentally responsible creativity.

Because other exhibitions can operate at BolognaFiere during the same period, the overall venue may contain additional exhibitions that are not part of Il Mondo Creativo itself. Visitors should therefore use the official event map and current signage to identify the correct halls and sections.

Conférences, présentations et ateliers

Workshops and demonstrations are an important element of Il Mondo Creativo. Instead of limiting the event to product displays, the programme gives visitors opportunities to observe techniques and learn how different materials and tools can be used.

Creative activities can cover areas such as sewing, paper crafts, decorative techniques, jewellery making and other DIY disciplines. The exact subjects, instructors and schedules depend on the programme published for each edition.

ReMade adds a sustainability-focused educational dimension. Its activities can include workshops, talks and live demonstrations designed around creative reuse, recycled materials and more sustainable approaches to handmade production.

Visitors interested in attending a specific activity should check the official 2026 programme before travelling because workshop schedules, participation requirements and available spaces may vary.

Accès VIP et professionnel

Il Mondo Creativo is primarily structured as a public creative-hobbies and DIY exhibition rather than a traditional closed trade fair. Its main audience includes hobbyists, makers, families, creative enthusiasts and consumers looking for materials, tools and handmade products.

Businesses can participate as exhibitors and use the event to present creative products directly to visitors. Exhibitor participation provides companies with opportunities to display products, demonstrate their uses and engage with potential customers.

Professional visitors, media representatives and businesses seeking specific accreditation should consult the organiser’s current professional and exhibitor information. Any special professional-access arrangements should be confirmed directly rather than assumed from the standard visitor ticket.

Lancements de produits & nouvelles collections

Product discovery is one of the main reasons visitors attend Il Mondo Creativo. Exhibitors can use the exhibition to introduce materials, tools, accessories and creative products directly to hobbyists and makers.

The event provides an opportunity to examine products physically, compare materials and speak directly with specialist suppliers. Demonstrations can also show how particular tools or materials work in practical projects.

New handmade collections are particularly relevant to Handmade Stories, where independent creators present original products and limited-series creations. These can include jewellery, accessories, clothing, home decorations, toys, stationery and other handmade goods.

ReMade provides another setting for new collections based on reuse and sustainability. Visitors interested in environmentally conscious creative products can explore designs incorporating recycled or reused materials.

Specific product launches for 2026 should be confirmed through individual exhibitors and the final official programme.

Règles de l’épreuve

Visitors must follow BolognaFiere’s venue regulations and the specific admission conditions published by Il Mondo Creativo. Tickets should be purchased or obtained through the approved channels, and visitors should follow the instructions provided at the entrance.

The organiser’s current visitor information states that dogs are permitted inside the fairgrounds under specified conditions. Dogs must remain on a leash, and owners must have a muzzle available if requested by organisers or competent authorities. Dogs younger than four months are not permitted.

Visitors should use the designated entrance and comply with instructions from event staff concerning security, movement through exhibition areas, workshops and other programmed activities.

Workshop participation may have separate conditions, including limited places or registration requirements. Visitors should therefore check the programme for individual activities before assuming that participation is available without registration.

Exhibitors are subject to separate technical and operational regulations covering stand construction, electrical installations, fire safety, access and other requirements. These rules are different from ordinary visitor regulations and are provided through the organiser’s exhibitor section.
