The Toulouse International Fair takes on the colors
The 99th Toulouse International Fair opens this Saturday at the MEETT and for 10 days. It is the biggest economic event in the Occitanie region.
Some may remember it. Last year, the Toulouse International Fair took place, at the MEETT, in September with a number of exhibitors reduced by half due to the pandemic. This year, the Fair is back to normal as it takes place from April 9 to 18 with 400 exhibitors. The seven halls of MEETT, the new exhibition center located in Aussonne, will be occupied by stands dedicated to the home, leisure, gastronomy, shopping, well-being… And outside, visitors will find gardening departments, wooden houses, tools, saunas and even tractors on which children will be allowed to climb. Like last year, the Gande Roue will be there and the trips will be offered by Toulouse Métropole.
Free massage and haircut
For its 99th edition, the International Fair has decided to renew itself by welcoming the Innova’Toulouse space. This last group, over three days, a dozen Toulouse start-ups who will present their products for the first time. Among them, there is Ostalada “which supports individuals in creating tailor-made participatory habitats” or Nenufarm which “offers a vegetable garden aquarium”. The Green Village will take their place by offering products made from recycled materials. Opposite, we will find the flea market stand, which will even be enlarged. Charlène du Troc L’Union “reserves exclusive pieces for you, such as Scandinavian or 70s furniture”.
