The Paris Fair (Foire de Paris), Europe's largest public shopping and festive event, is back from April 30th to May 11th, 2026 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles!

 

 

Following the success of the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition, the first Paris Fair opened its doors on March 17, 1904, at the Carreau du Temple, with the aim of bringing inventors, manufacturers, and the general public together.

With its growing popularity over the years, the Paris Fair moved to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in 1925.

 

Today, the Paris Fair brings together more than 1,200 exhibitors and welcomes over 400,000 visitors over 12 days.

It's the unmissable spring event in Paris.

 

Nicknamed the French's favorite shopping and festive event since 1904, the Foire de Paris is divided into four distinct sectors:

* Home & Co Paris: Europe's largest home show

* World in Paris: the world's leading event for travel and crafts

* Auto Mobil Paris: the flagship event for cars and new mobility solutions

* Made in Paris: the most festive market for French craftsmanship

 

Also on the program at the Paris Fair are competitions:

* The renowned Concours Lépine, the unmissable event prized by inventors since 1901

* Start-Up Boost, the springboard that showcases the products of tomorrow developed by young French start-ups since 2018

* The French Barbecue Championship, since 2013

* Europong, the Western European beer pong championship, for the first time

 

During these 12 days, the Paris Fair also offers over 1,000 hours of entertainment and shows.

Enjoy parades, live concerts, creative workshops, sports activities, the Festival of the Tropics, and visit the African Talents Village...

 

The Paris Fair is also a journey through world cultures, a gastronomic stopover with a variety of food options to suit all tastes.
