Weekend in Milan: Mag to Mag 2026 at BASE (3–4 October)
This article covers the October 2026 edition, which has already taken place.
On 3 and 4 October 2026 Milan hosted the fourth edition of Mag to Mag, the international festival of independent and collectible magazines, at BASE Milano (via Bergognone 34, Tortona area). Organised by Frab’s Magazines, the event brought together a market, talks, masterclasses, workshops and exhibitions. The 2026 theme was «ERRORE» (error): not as something to be corrected, but as a space for experimentation and new languages.
100 exhibitors from 13 countries took part in the market, with magazines on photography, fashion, art, cinema, literature, graphics, architecture and design. The market, exhibitions, talks and masterclasses were free with online registration; workshops had limited places and required separate registration.

How to combine the festival and the city
Morning or afternoon at Mag to Mag, then a stroll in Tortona or along the Navigli. The same weekend also saw COMBO Festival at Morel (via privata Gradisca 18), devoted to board games: two different atmospheres, same city.
