Wimzzi x OFF Christmas Market 2026 in Wavre: Celebrating Belgian Artisans and Independent Makers – Exhibitor Applications Now Open!

By Laetitia & Jing, on 11/10/2026

A special venue. Passionate creators. Three days celebrating Belgian craftsmanship. And a very first edition that you could be part of. 🎄✨

This year, Wimzzi has something special planned.

From Friday 11 to Sunday 13 December 2026, Wimzzi is joining forces with OFF Meeting in Wavre, Walloon Brabant, Belgium, to organise the very first Wimzzi x OFF Christmas Market.

A special event celebrating Belgian artisans, independent designers, local brands and creative entrepreneurs who make unique, original and beautiful products.

In a warm and stylish setting, close to the festive OFFChalet, we want to bring together a carefully selected group of talented Belgian makers.

Our goal? To offer visitors a different Christmas shopping experience: more authentic, more personal and full of wonderful discoveries.

And today, we are officially opening applications for exhibitors!

Spaces are limited, and active artisans on Wimzzi.com will have priority during the selection process.


Do you create beautiful things? We would love to discover your brand!

1. Wimzzi x OFF: A Christmas market in Wavre celebrating Belgian talent


Some gifts are simply bought. Others are chosen with care because they tell a story, reflect true craftsmanship or have a unique personality.

At Wimzzi, these are the creations we love to discover and share.

A handmade piece of jewellery from a Belgian workshop. A carefully crafted scented candle. Handmade ceramics. A fashion accessory from a small collection. A delicious Belgian treat made with passion.

Behind every creation is a talented maker. And behind every maker is a story worth sharing.

That is exactly what this first Wimzzi Christmas Market at OFF is all about.

For three days, we want to turn a room at OFF Meeting in Wavre into a welcoming place where visitors can meet Belgian artisans and discover beautiful local products.

A heated indoor space, a cosy Christmas atmosphere, a carefully selected collection of Belgian brands and visitors looking for original Christmas gift ideas.

Our ambition is simple: to create a high-quality Christmas market with a personal feel, where every exhibitor can shine and every visitor can discover something special.

Every maker matters. We want to bring together creative brands with different styles, unique products and stories worth telling.


For this first edition, we are looking for talented Belgian makers from different creative sectors:


  • Jewellery and accessories: handmade jewellery, leather goods, bags, fashion accessories and original designs.
  • Home and decoration: scented candles, ceramics, tableware, home accessories and handmade decorations.
  • Fashion, textiles and wellness: clothing, accessories, handmade soaps, cosmetics and self-care products.
  • Art and illustration: prints, stationery, illustrations, personalised gifts and limited-edition creations.
  • Children and babies: baby gifts, nursery decorations, accessories and unique handmade products.
  • Belgian food gifts: chocolates, biscuits, jams, chocolate spreads and other handmade Belgian treats, subject to the applicable food sales rules.


Do you make personalised gifts, handmade products, unique home decorations or special Christmas collections?

Your brand could be one of the wonderful discoveries of this first edition.

We are looking for passionate makers, quality products and brands with a strong identity.


2. Three days to showcase your brand, meet new customers and enjoy a special experience


December is an important time for Belgian artisans, independent designers and small local businesses.

Shoppers are looking for original Christmas presents, handmade gifts, personalised products, Belgian chocolates and thoughtful gifts with a story.

Taking part in the Wimzzi x OFF Christmas Market 2026 is an opportunity to present your creations in a beautiful setting.

It is also a chance to introduce the person and passion behind your brand.

Share your story, present your latest collections, meet potential customers and show what makes your products special.

The Christmas market will take place at OFF Meeting in Wavre, close to OFFChalet, in a warm and original setting.

We want to introduce participating artisans to people living in Wavre, Walloon Brabant and the surrounding areas, as well as families, Christmas shoppers and local professionals.

Together with OFF, we want to give this first edition great visibility and build an event that could become a much-loved Christmas tradition.

We want to thank the artisans who trust Wimzzi throughout the year by offering them priority during the selection process and special participation conditions.
