Strasbourg European Fair
The big commercial and festive meeting of the back-to-school season in Alsace
2026
About European Fair
Every autumn, the Strasbourg European Fair takes over the Wacken Parc des Expositions, the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès, and its surrounding gardens for ten days. More than 550 exhibitors showcase everything from gastronomy, home decor, and fashion to beauty, crafts, mobility, and gardening. Visitors can also explore themed villages dedicated to delicacies, the military, agriculture, culture, Italy, and the Pacific. Each year, a new immersive exhibition transports guests to a different destination. As evening falls, the atmosphere shifts with free concerts, bars, and restaurants staying open until midnight. Established in 1932, the fair welcomed nearly 140,000 visitors in 2025 and remains Alsace's premier commercial event.
European Fair — edition 2026
The 94th edition of the Strasbourg European Fair takes place from Friday, September 4th to Sunday, September 13th, 2026, at the Parc des Expositions. Featuring over 550 exhibitors, an immersive exhibition on the Mediterranean (Greece, Italy, Spain), the Color Punk graffiti workshop, an expanded Italian Village, the return of the Pacific Village, and more than 500 events. Enjoy free nightly concerts with Foireurop' Live, ranging from Tom Mathis on September 4th to Sound of Legend on September 12th. A single €5 ticket grants access for all ten days, with free entry every day after 6:00 PM.
2026 Edition
The 94th European Fair runs from Friday, September 4th to Sunday, September 13th, 2026, at the Strasbourg Parc des Expositions. The event spans the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès and its gardens, the Hall Tivoli (formerly Hall 5), the Parc des Expositions, and its two forecourts. Strasbourg Events is bringing back the "day and night" format: exhibitors and great deals during the day, followed by concerts and the food & drink village until midnight.
There is no guest country this year. Instead, the Fair features an immersive exhibition dedicated to three Southern European peninsulas—Greece, Italy, and Spain—within a specially designed scenographic path in Hall 4.
What's New in 2026
- The Color Punk graffiti workshop: a street art space led by Marc Cronimus where visitors can create their own canvas art (Hall Rhin).
- The Ultimate Ninja obstacle course: completely redesigned by a Ninja Warrior finalist, featuring a team championship on Saturday, September 12th.
- An expanded Italian Village at the entrance of the Parc des Expositions: new stalls, gastronomy, traditional products, and crafts.
- The exhibitors' late-night opening has been moved to Thursday, September 10th, until 10:00 PM.
- Foireurop' Live: free nightly musical programming.
Permanent Villages
The Pacific Village returns with traditional dances, crafts, and overseas cuisine. The Village des Délices brings together food industry guilds (bakers, pastry chefs, chocolatiers, butchers) for demonstrations, tastings, and competitions. The Village des Armées gathers the French Army, Air Force, Navy, and the SIS 67 in the PMC gardens. These are joined by the Agriculture Village, the Cultural Village in Hall Tivoli, and the Italian Village.
Key Figures
In 2025, the Fair welcomed nearly 140,000 visitors, a 9% increase from the previous year, with over 550 exhibitors across more than 100,000 m². The visit is structured around six sectors: gastronomy and dining; fashion, decor, gifts, beauty, leisure, and world artisans; home and furniture; institutions; mobility; and gardens and outdoors.
Stands are open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and until 10:00 PM on Thursday, September 10th. Concerts, bars, and restaurants are open from 10:00 AM to midnight, closing at 8:00 PM on Sunday, September 13th.

Over 90 years of history
The first Strasbourg Fair was held in September 1932. It has returned every autumn since, and 2026 marks its 94th edition. It is organized by Strasbourg Events, a semi-public company owned by the City of Strasbourg, the Eurométropole, and the GL events group, which manages the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès and the Parc des Expositions.
Six worlds of exhibitors
Over 550 exhibitors are spread across more than 100,000 m² in six sectors: gastronomy and dining; fashion, decor, gifts, beauty, leisure, and global artisans; home and furniture; institutions; mobility; and gardens and outdoor living. The 'Made In Elsass' area highlights Alsatian expertise, while the 'Village des Délices' brings together food professionals—bakers, pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and butchers—for demonstrations, tastings, and culinary competitions.
An immersive exhibition renewed every year
Each edition features a specially designed exhibition centered on a specific destination: Ireland in 2025 across 1,200 m², and three Southern European countries in 2026: Greece, Italy, and Spain.
Ten days, from day to night
The daytime is dedicated to exhibitors, craftsmanship, and great finds. In the evening, the fair changes its vibe: free concerts on the Hall 1 stage and the Rives de l'Aar square, a food & drink village, and bars and restaurants open until midnight. Additional highlights include the Ultimate Ninja obstacle course, the Hall Tivoli Cultural Village with its authors, book signings, and board games, and the Military Village, which brings together the French Army, Air Force, Navy, and the Bas-Rhin Fire and Rescue Service.
Deeply rooted in Strasbourg
The Wacken Parc des Expositions is located right next to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. The fair is supported by the City and Eurométropole of Strasbourg, the Grand Est Region, the Alsace Chamber of Trades, the CCI Alsace Eurométropole, the Italian Chamber of Commerce for France in Marseille, the Alsace Chamber of Agriculture, various trade guilds, the Bas-Rhin Hotel and Restaurant Association, and numerous local organizations.
