Exhibit at The Autumn Fair

Reach high-intent shoppers and grow your retail sales

What is The Autumn Fair?

The Autumn Fair is Bahrain's largest and most beloved consumer retail festival, now in its 37th edition. Taking place 24 January to 2 February 2027 at Exhibition World Bahrain, across five halls and 36,000 square metres, under the support of Her Excellency Fatima bint Jaffar Al Sairafi, Minister of Tourism and Chairman of the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, it brings together exhibitors from 26 countries with more than 200,000 visitors over ten days.

In 2026, exhibitors sold $18.2 million worth of goods on the floor, a 112% increase on the previous year. One exhibitor sold 30% of their opening stock by Day 4 and had to reorder mid-event. Another has exhibited for over 20 years and describes The Autumn Fair as essential to their annual business. These are not exceptional cases. They are what this event consistently delivers.
