Foire Internationale de Montpellier 2026: where to stay

The Foire Internationale de Montpellier returns from 9 to 19 October 2026 at the Parc des Expositions on the outskirts of the city. Over eleven days the venue becomes a vast commercial showcase built around five main worlds: Food & Gastronomy, Shopping, Living Better & Informing Yourself, Home & Garden, and Nations of the World, alongside dedicated pavilions for Italy, Polynesia, Canada, Morocco and Tunisia. The 2026 edition features an immersive exhibition on Canada, complete with trapper cabins, a Klondike gold-rush camp, a maple syrup shack and a winter zone projecting the Northern Lights. The Terrasse Gourmande in Hall A3 brings together speciality restaurants and regional produce until 9 pm, extending into the late-night openings. Beyond retail, the fair hosts demonstrators, fashion and wellness stands, a local crafts area organised with the CMA de l'Hérault, and a civil protection and defence zone. Visitors can enter a draw to win a two-person trip to Canada and daily gifts at the game terminals by entrance A. Organiser SPL Occitanie Events runs the event under an eco-responsible charter.
