International Crafts and Tourism Fair – Mostar
Mission
The International Crafts and Tourism Fair – Mostar exists to bring people closer to traditional crafts and the stories behind them, while showing how heritage skills can live and grow in today’s world. Its mission is to give artisans a visible, welcoming space to present their work, share knowledge and connect with visitors, professionals and new generations. By placing crafts in the heart of Mostar and linking them with tourism, culture and community life, the Fair encourages pride in local skills, supports artisans’ livelihoods and inspires a lasting appreciation of craftsmanship as a living part of cultural identity.
For visitors

Held for the first time from 15 to 17 October 2025 at the historic Tepa market plateau, the fair brought together artisans, craftspeople and tourism representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina and neighbouring countries. Organised in connection with the International Day of Crafts, the event highlights the value of traditional skills today. Visitors can explore handmade products, traditional techniques and creative services, enjoy cultural programmes and exhibitions, and meet the people behind the crafts in a lively, welcoming atmosphere that celebrates heritage and creativity for all generations.
