"The Autumn Fair is more than a shopping event. It is a celebration of Bahrain’s culture, creativity and retail community, giving visitors a place to shop, taste and discover products for every budget, age and style."

HISTORY

A national shopping legacy

Since 1989, The Autumn Fair has been a cornerstone of Bahrain’s social and retail calendar. What began as a modest event has grown into the kingdom’s largest shopping fair, attracting more than 200,000 visitors and hundreds of exhibitors.

The event now takes place at Exhibition World Bahrain, giving shoppers and exhibitors a larger, modern venue for 10 days of retail discovery, entertainment and sales.

The inaugural event

The Autumn Fair's first edition took place in one hall at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre in Sanabis, Bahrain.

The move to Exhibition World Bahrain

The Autumn Fair was re-located to Exhibition World Bahrain - a modern, state-of-the-art venue located in Sakhir, Bahrain.

This year and beyond

Having just celebrated its 35th edition, The Autumn Fair, for the first time in 2025, extended to 10 full days. We look forward to a future of growth, success, and great shopping for another 35 years to come.
