About this event
Chiang Mai Design Week returns for its twelfth edition from 5 to 13 December 2026, organised by the Creative Economy Agency's northern office, with exhibitions, pop up markets, studio visits, business matching and performances across the Old City and Tha Phae areas. The 2026 dates are not yet confirmed on the organiser's own site, which still carries the 2025 programme, so this record is expected: the dates follow the festival's established pattern of a nine day run in the first half of December. Many public events are free, while some workshops are ticketed.
