Street art, wardrobe clearance, agricultural fair: what you need to know about the Bordeaux fair

From May 18 to 26, 2024, the Bordeaux International Fair is back in the Gironde capital. Numerous events await visitors at the Exhibition Center.

“More than 800 exhibitors will be present for an XXL shopping trip,” assure the organizers. The fair will be organized in four spaces: housing, art of living, ecomobility and gastronomy which “highlight the neo-Aquitaine territory through all its components.

A fair adapted to the region each year

“Every year, we must build a new Fair that corresponds to what is happening in society, in the city, the region,” underlines Aymeric Peneau, head of General Public Events. The Gustave 2024 trophy will allow 15 new companies to present themselves to visitors.

The fair has many events awaited throughout, such as the Nouvelle-Aquitaine agricultural show or the sports village (on the theme of Paris 2024 this year). The Colors Festival, a major urban art and street art event. After Paris, London and Manchester, the immersive 1,500 m² exhibition is coming to Bordeaux. Twenty-five artists will present 80 creations.

But also occasional moments like Bordeaux Geekfest to dive into the world of pop culture on May 18 and 19, in an edition dedicated to the 90s. The Color Run race, or four kilometers to cover on Sunday May 19 for a good cause.

An evening Friday the 24th, with the artist Tibz in showcase before a giant blind test orchestrated by the crazy Philippe Maurice and a pyrotechnic show.
