ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The third edition of the re:pair FESTIVAL will take place from October 10 to 27, 2024, with the festival headquarters located in the MuseumsQuartier.
This year's re:pair FESTIVAL program offers an exciting mix of practice and theory with over 120 events. A variety of workshops will teach creative skills and the joy of repairing. Knowledge will be shared through lectures, ambulances, walks and two exhibitions.
To make the festival accessible to everyone, admission to most events is free.
Repair is an important tool in the fight against the climate crisis. Repair allows for more efficient use of products and more careful use of our resources. And it is easy to integrate into everyday life. Repair is cheap, fun, creative, and empowering.
