Technological and creative showcases also emerged, such as the Maker Faire in Hannover, featuring robotics and 3D printing, and the City-Kreativvitti event in Pirmasens aimed at urban revitalization. Community-focused activities continued with the Döhren Kulturlustwandeln walking tour, the Jugendhaus Alte Scheune event in Zirndorf, and the Fulda Genussfestival, which drew approximately 20,000 visitors.
