Charleville-Mézières Commercial and Agricultural Fair
The great commercial and agricultural exhibition fair of the Ardennes
About Charleville Fair
The essential commercial event of the Ardennes
The Charleville-Mézières Commercial and Agricultural Fair is the major economic event of the Ardennes department. Organized by Ardennes Expos, this large exhibition fair brings together around 200 exhibitors each year in June over more than 30,000 m² at the Parc des Expositions in Charleville-Mézières, route de la Vieille Meuse. For four days, professionals and individuals meet to discover the latest trends in housing, crafts, gastronomy, and leisure.
Three halls and a large outdoor space
The fair is organized around three covered halls and a large outdoor space. The indoor halls host the sectors of housing (woodworking, decoration, fireplaces, stoves, heating, home appliances, bathrooms, kitchens), tourism, sports, well-being (spas, institutes), crafts, and gastronomy (local products, excellent wines, craft beers). The outdoor space features the car show, trailers, motorhomes, agricultural machinery, swimming pools, gardening, ride-on mowers, and on-site catering.
Festive and musical evenings
The Charleville-Mézières Fair is not limited to commerce: it also offers a festive evening program. On Friday, which coincides with the Fête de la Musique, free concerts are organized until midnight. Saturday evening extends the celebration until 1 am with musical entertainment and DJ sets. The friendly and family atmosphere makes the fair a true popular Ardennes event.
A free and accessible event
Admission is 100% free for all visitors, including evening concerts. Parking is free near the Parc des Expositions. Catering and refreshment areas are available on-site, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the day or evening. The fair attracts over 30,000 visitors each year over the extended weekend.
An awaited return after several years of absence
After several years of interruption, the Charleville-Mézières Fair made its grand return in 2025, driven by the organizers' desire to offer an event rooted in the Ardennes region. This revival marks a new beginning for the largest commercial event in the department.
Charleville Fair — edition 2026
The Charleville-Mézières Commercial and Agricultural Fair returns from Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21, 2026 at the Parc des Expositions, route de la Vieille Meuse. Approximately 200 exhibitors over more than 30,000 m², 100% free entry, evening concerts with Mario (Émile & Images) and ABBA For Ever, an exceptional parade by the Marine nationale for its 400th anniversary, and a late-night event in harmony with the Fête de la Musique on Saturday evening.

The 2026 edition of the Charleville-Mézières Commercial and Agricultural Fair will be held from Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21, 2026 at the Parc des Expositions, route de la Vieille Meuse. Organized by Ardennes Expos (Oasis Productions), this edition continues the momentum of the return initiated in 2025 and once again brings together approximately 200 exhibitors over more than 30,000 m², with over 30,000 visitors expected throughout the weekend.
Three halls and a vast outdoor area
The indoor halls host sectors such as home improvement (carpentry, decoration, fireplaces, stoves, heating, home appliances, bathrooms, kitchens), fashion, sports, well-being (spas, institutes), crafts, wines and spirits, local products, and gastronomy. The outdoor area features the car and motorcycle show, trailers, motorhomes, agricultural equipment, gardening, ride-on mowers, swimming pools, and on-site catering.
Free concerts and festive late-night events
The fair's evenings are enlivened by a completely free musical program. This year's program includes two event concerts: Mario (Émile & Images) who revisits his hits including « Les Démons de Minuit », and ABBA For Ever, on European tour, stopping in Charleville-Mézières to bring back the greatest hits of the Swedish group. On Saturday evening, a late-night event in harmony with the Fête de la Musique extends the celebration late into the night.
A Marine nationale parade for its 400th anniversary
An exceptional highlight of this edition, the Marine nationale celebrates its 400th anniversary with a parade on the fairgrounds — a way to honor the commitment and expertise of the armed forces in the heart of the Ardennes.
Activities for all ages
Each day, the fair offers conferences, activities, various shows, a Tattoo Pole with artists in demonstration, a big bingo, and on-site catering / refreshment stand. The friendly and family atmosphere makes the Charleville-Mézières Fair a truly popular event in the Ardennes.
