Expo Riva Schuh and Gardabags 2027 in Riva del Garda

Expo Riva Schuh and Gardabags is the leading international showcase for volume footwear, leather goods and accessories. For its January 2027 edition, the fair returns to the Riva del Garda Exhibition Centre with exhibitors from more than 40 countries and buyers from over 100 markets. Held twice a year, the event serves as a launchpad for new collections and seasonal trends. Running alongside Gardabags, it widens the scope to handbags, belts and small leather goods, with a strong business focus on distribution, retail and international sourcing. Set in the province of Trento, Riva del Garda pairs trade fair activity with a lake-and-mountain setting. Staying near Via Baltera lets visitors combine meetings at the show with time in the historic centre and along the shores of Lake Garda. Business travellers are advised to book early: local hotel demand peaks around the fair dates, and rooms close to the venue tend to sell out quickly.
