spoga+gafa 2027 booth in Cologne: your turnkey stand builder
Art of living
International
spoga+gafa is the international garden and barbecue trade fair, organized in Cologne. The 2026 edition was held from June 22 to 24; the next edition is announced from September 7 to 9, 2027 at Koelnmesse (the website calendar still displays June: dates to be confirmed).
spoga+gafa: the benchmark for garden and barbecue
Organized by Koelnmesse, the trade fair brings together manufacturers of garden furniture, barbecues, decoration and accessories, as well as garden maintenance and outdoor adventure solutions. Visitors are buyers from garden centers, DIY stores, furniture chains and online sales platforms, mostly from abroad.
Starting in 2027, the organizer is moving the fair to September, after consulting with exhibitors, to align it more closely with the industry's purchasing cycle.
Koelnmesse: a large exhibition center on the banks of the Rhine
Koelnmesse, in Cologne, is a leading exhibition center, connected to the central station (Köln Messe/Deutz) and the airport. The city is a day's drive from our workshops, with no customs formalities since Germany belongs to the European Union.
The assembly regulations (heights, loads, official service providers, authorized materials) must be validated with the organizer.
Garden and lifestyle stand: how we work
Buyers judge the quality of a brand at a glance. We design stands that showcase products in real-life settings: terrace atmospheres, natural materials, warm lighting and integrated order counters. Visit our lifestyle stand page and our custom-made stands.

Tips for exhibiting at spoga+gafa
Check the date: the shift to September in 2027 is to be confirmed before starting the project.
Focus on staging: a terrace or garden scene sells better than a shelf display.
Plan for storage: samples and bulky furniture require well-placed storage areas.
Think about international buyers: the majority of visitors come from abroad: multilingual materials.
