Lille Expo Fair

The grand return of a Lille institution

After 14 years of absence, the Lille Expo Fair made its grand return in 2026 at Lille Grand Palais. This historic event, with origins dating back to 1925, is returning to its original venue to offer Lille residents and those in the wider metropolitan area a commercial, festive, and friendly gathering that had been missed in local life.

150 exhibitors over 6,000 m²

The Lille Expo Fair brings together over 150 exhibitors spread across 6,000 m² of exhibition space at Lille Grand Palais. This generous area allows for a rich and diverse commercial offering, organized around five main themes.

Home and Living

The Home and Living section brings together professionals in interior design, decoration, energy renovation, and home equipment. Visitors can find ideas and concrete solutions for their housing projects, with the opportunity to compare offers and benefit from fair prices.

Mobility

The Mobility space showcases the latest trends in transportation: electric vehicles, bicycles, scooters, soft mobility solutions, and automotive innovations. It's an opportunity to discover and test new modes of transport.

Shopping and Crafts

The Shopping and Crafts sections highlight local and regional designers, artisans, and retailers. Fashion, jewelry, accessories, artisanal decorative items, and original creations make up a varied and high-quality shopping selection.

Wines and Gastronomy

The Wines and Gastronomy section is one of the fair's highlights. Winemakers, producers, and food industry artisans offer tastings and direct sales of exceptional products. A lively Food Court featuring players from the Lille food scene and a friendly pop-up bar complete the gourmet offering.

Entertainment and Festivities

Beyond the exhibition space, the Lille Expo Fair stands out for its continuous entertainment throughout the five days of the event.

Workshops for the whole family

Cooking, DIY, wellness, and leisure workshops are offered throughout the day, allowing visitors to participate actively and leave with new skills and inspiration.

Inaugural Evening

The opening evening on Thursday (7 PM-10 PM) is a particularly festive occasion with concerts, DJ sets, performances, and exclusive entertainment in a celebratory atmosphere.

Lille Grand Palais

Lille Grand Palais, the convention and exhibition center of the Lille metropolitan area, offers a modern and functional setting for the Expo Fair. Located close to the city center and served by public transport, it is the ideal venue to host a metropolitan-scale event.
