The World Wicker and Weaving Festival, held in Nowy Tomyśl, Poland, is one of Europe’s most important events dedicated to basketry, wickerwork, and weaving traditions. Every year, the festival brings together artisans, designers, artists, and weaving communities from different countries through exhibitions, demonstrations, workshops, competitions, and cultural activities celebrating the diversity of woven crafts.
Deeply rooted in the wicker heritage of the region, the festival highlights both traditional savoir-faire and contemporary creative approaches linked to natural fibres and braided forms. Beyond the objects themselves, the event also promotes transmission, international exchange, and the living cultural value of basket-making traditions.
