4 cool & creative things to do in Milan this weekend, November 8-9
4 unmissable events in Milan to break the mold
If you're looking for something more than an aperitif or a stroll, I've selected four truly worthwhile events: science, creativity, nature, and exercise. Each with its own unique personality.
1. Focus Live 2025
At the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology, Milan is transformed with Focus Live: with lectures, installations, interactive quizzes, and immersive experiences on science and technology. Experience science like you've never seen it before.
And if you enjoy discovering the origins of the things we use every day, you can discover the origins of chocolate by visiting the only chocolate factory in central Milan, where you'll go from bean to bar with a master chocolatier.
2. PawChewGo Workshops
The illustration festival returns to Milan's Base! If you're looking for a print to hang above your bed, you've come to the right place. Perfect for those looking for a unique afternoon.
Like the idea? If you'd like a more hands-on lesson with an artist, try the " Draw Your Emotions " workshop.
3. The Beastly Sunday at Cascina Cuccagna
An event designed for families and children (but also for adults who want to feel like children again): films, comedy, theater, creative workshops, animals, nature, games, and farm activities. Perfect for a different, relaxed weekend surrounded by Milan's greenery.
You might also like to make your own Christmas wreath !
4. MiVeg 2025
Try the best vegan lunch you've ever tasted. A festival entirely dedicated to the vegan lifestyle and animal welfare, held at East End Studios in Milan. Numerous stands, workshops, talks, and entertainment: an ethical, fun, and inspirational celebration for everyone. Admission is free, but with the challenge of solidarity: participate and make a difference.
If you like this, you might enjoy making your own flowering pumpkin to keep in your home as a beautiful decoration.
And for the aftermath…
Take advantage of this opportunity to book a new hobby on Club Joy : painting, ceramics, cooking, crafts, or embroidery. This fall, you're not just relaxed... you're excited to start something new.
