Foire du printemps de Berne

The Spring Fair of Bern is a trade fair showing regional products, handcrafted goods, and modern items from Swiss businesses spread across multiple exhibition halls at Bernexpo center. Visitors can move between different sections with specialized offerings and see both new items and established craft techniques.

The fair began as a regional trade event and became an important meeting point for makers and buyers across the Bern area. Over the decades it remained a steady forum for local producers and buyers to connect.

Local artisans and artists display their work alongside food vendors offering regional dishes. This blend of crafts and regional food shows both long-standing Swiss traditions and current creative projects.

The exhibition center is easily reached by public transport and has plenty of parking plus full wheelchair access throughout. Wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are large and take time to explore.

Visitors can join interactive workshops where local craftspeople teach traditional Swiss techniques hands-on and show how their work actually gets done. This direct experience helps people understand real skill and the effort behind the craft.
