Nancy International Expo Fair
The great commercial and festive event of Lorraine
About Nancy Expo Fair
Lorraine's biggest popular event
The Nancy International Fair and Exhibition is the most important commercial and festive event in the Grand Est region. Every year in June, for nine days, the Parc Expo de Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy transforms into a true temple of commerce, discoveries, and entertainment. The event, organized by Destination Nancy, welcomes over 400 exhibitors from Lorraine, France, and beyond, and attracts a large intergenerational audience each year.
All sectors represented
The Fair and Exhibition offers a complete overview of commercial, artisanal, and service offerings. Exhibitors are divided into nine thematic halls covering all consumer and lifestyle universes.
The main areas
- Home and renovation: Houses, verandas, insulation, renewable energies, swimming pools and spas.
- Furniture and decoration: Furniture, kitchen, bathroom, interior design.
- World artisans: Creators and artisans showcasing unique know-how and products.
- Gastronomy and flavors: Delicatessen, local Lorraine products, wines and spirits.
- Demonstrators and smart products: Innovations and practical solutions for the home.
- Outdoor living and garden: Garden furniture, landscaping, outdoor equipment.

A thematic exhibition every year
Each edition of the Fair and Exhibition revolves around a major event exhibition that changes annually. Designed as true immersive experiences, these exhibitions have notably plunged visitors into the world of pop culture, cinema, science, or great civilizations. They constitute one of the highlights of the event and attract an audience far beyond the commercial fair.
Entertainment, concerts, and shows
Beyond its commercial role, the Nancy Fair and Exhibition is a big popular festival. The program annually offers open-air concerts, indoor shows, thematic evenings, late-night openings, a drone show, a sports village, children's activities, parades, and meetings with personalities. This diversity makes the Fair an event that is at once family-friendly, festive, and convivial.
An event organized by Destination Nancy
The Nancy International Fair and Exhibition is organized by Destination Nancy, the metropolis's tourism, congress, and event office. Created in the 1930s, it is among the oldest commercial fairs in France and is an unmissable event for the inhabitants of the Métropole du Grand Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle, and the entire Grand Est region.
