Foire de Nevers

A major economic event since 1932

The Foire de Nevers was born in 1932, between the two World Wars, as a showcase for the economic and artisanal dynamism of the Nièvre region. For over ninety years, this event has grown to become the most important commercial event in the department, attracting nearly 50,000 visitors each year and bringing together hundreds of exhibitors from all over Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and beyond.

A new setting at Nevers Agora

Since the 2025 edition, the Foire de Nevers has moved to the brand-new Nevers Agora multi-purpose complex, a modern and spacious facility offering optimal conditions for both exhibitors and visitors. This move marks a turning point in the fair's history, as it was previously held at the Parc des Expositions. Nevers Agora allows for stands to be set up in air-conditioned halls and offers outdoor spaces for entertainment.

Hundreds of exhibitors and themed entertainment

The Foire de Nevers brings together hundreds of exhibitors in various fields: housing, decoration, gardening, gastronomy, local products, crafts, automotive, wellness, new technologies, and services. Visitors can find local products, home innovations, leisure ideas, and professional advice.

Each edition features a major themed exhibition that is a highlight of the visit. The 2026 edition will spotlight Japan and manga with an immersive exhibition retracing Japanese history, traditions, and contemporary culture through a labyrinth-shaped scenographic tour. Concerts, fashion shows, tastings, and children's activities complete the program.

A popular and free event

The Foire de Nevers is distinguished by its free admission, making it a truly popular event accessible to all. For about ten days, families, curious individuals, professionals, and lovers of good products gather in the aisles of Nevers Agora to discover, compare, taste, and do business. The fair is also a time for conviviality and encounters that punctuate the Nevers calendar.
