Charleville-Mézières Fair 2026 — three days of discoveries and festivities
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.
