The fest itself is open to the public, but the museums & the concerts in the churches require the 7€ button. There are tours and workshops in all of the museums each day, but most of them will be in German. Many of the museums will have flea markets for their books, films, prints and other items. Near the Giersch Museum and Liebieghaus, you will find antique book market stands.

Ethnic Food, German food, drinks, cooking demonstrations, ceramics, wood items, handicrafts, art, clothing, hats, leather goods, and plenty of hand made jewelry are all to be found at this fest.
