Consumenta Nuremberg – Southern Germany's largest shopping and experience fair

Discover diversity, experience new things, and gather inspiration

Consumenta in Nuremberg has been a real trade fair highlight for consumers in southern Germany for decades. As one of Germany's most popular public trade fairs, it offers a colorful and informative trade fair experience year after year – with a unique mix of shopping, advice, live entertainment, and hands-on activities. Whether it's living, building, health, enjoyment, leisure, or the animal world: Consumenta covers a wide range of topics, making it a real family event. Thousands of products can be tested, sampled, or purchased on site. For many, Consumenta is a fixed date in the fall calendar – as a source of inspiration, a destination for a day out, and a platform for personal advice and encounters.

Shopping world divided into themed halls

The fair is clearly structured into different themed areas, allowing visitors to find their way around easily. The largest and most popular areas include:

• Living & Furnishing: Furniture, decoration, kitchens, household appliances
• Building & Renovation: Energy saving, smart homes, crafts, garden design

Experience live instead of just consuming

A special hallmark of Consumenta is the high quality of the experience: live demonstrations, workshops, consultations, and shows take place throughout the venue. Whether it's kitchen appliances in practical tests, massage chairs to try out, or e-bike courses – “touching and trying” is expressly encouraged here. In the show kitchen, celebrity and regional chefs demonstrate their skills. Musicians, dancers, acrobats, and influencers take turns on stage. And in the consultation zones, experts will be on hand to help with renovation questions, financial planning, or health issues.

Regional meets international

Consumenta is firmly rooted in the region—numerous companies from Franconia, Bavaria, and southern Germany use it to present their products to a wide audience. At the same time, the trade fair also brings international brands and exhibitors to Nuremberg, creating an exciting mix of regionality and global lifestyle.

A meeting place for all generations

Whether young families, seniors, trend-conscious individuals, or animal lovers—the trade fair offers something for all age groups. Parents appreciate the comprehensive children's program and supervised play areas, while seniors can find out about services, mobility solutions, and health advice. The mix of product presentations, information exchange, and entertainment makes Consumenta a meeting place for all generations.

Digitally and locally networked

Consumenta is also focusing on digital expansion: many exhibitors now offer QR codes, product videos, or online appointments. The trade fair website and social media channels also offer extensive previews, action plans, and follow-up reports.

Consumenta Nuremberg – An experience for all the senses

Consumenta is not just a sales fair – it is a place for discovery, experience, and personal exchange.
