From June 26 to 28, 2026, the seventh edition of the NEW HOUSING – Tiny House Festival will take place in Karlsruhe (Germany). Over the years, it has grown into one of Europe’s most important events focused on small and sustainable living.
TinyFindy is a media partner of the festival this year. That means we’ll not only give you an idea of what to expect, but also share a discount code for tickets.
What is NEW HOUSING?
NEW HOUSING is more than a Tiny House festival. It’s a place where the future of living becomes visible and tangible. Think of:
- Tiny Houses on wheels and on foundations
- Modular homes
- Innovations in sustainable and compact building
- Inspiration for new ways of living
During the festival, more than 80 exhibitors will present their solutions for small-scale living, and you’ll be able to explore around 30 different homes.
In addition, there are lectures, workshops and so-called Tiny Talks, where residents and experts share their experiences — from financing and regulations to daily life in a Tiny House.
Why is this interesting for a Dutch audience?
You might think: we already have plenty of initiatives in the Netherlands. And that’s true. But we don’t have a comparable festival — and there are more reasons why a trip to Karlsruhe is worth considering.
NEW HOUSING is not just a trade fair. It’s a place where you can really experience where small living in Europe is heading. Whether you’re planning to build your own Tiny House, involved in a project, or simply curious.

New in 2026: Business Day
A new addition this year is the Business Day on Friday, aimed at professionals in the Tiny House sector. Think of municipalities, investors, developers and the recreation sector.
During this day, the focus is on questions such as:
- How do you realise a Tiny House project?
- How do you collaborate with municipalities?
- How do you finance these developments?
This makes it a valuable day if you are professionally involved in housing development and interested in compact and sustainable living solutions.
