OFFA St. Gallen

The consumer fair OFFA is a major spring fair held in St. Gallen in eastern Switzerland, which takes place annually in April and presents a wide range of topics and products. The event, which has been held since 1977, attracts both exhibitors and visitors from various industries and areas of interest. It is held at the Olma Messen St. Gallen, one of the most well-known exhibition centers in Switzerland. The name "OFFA" is not an abbreviation, but appears to refer to the historical King Offa of Mercia, an Anglo-Saxon kingdom who reigned in the 8th century.

However, in relation to the fair, the name has no special meaning and simply stands for the name of the event. The OFFA trade fair is divided into various subject areas, including leisure, gardening, mobility, household, and building & living. It offers visitors the opportunity to learn about current trends, products, and services in these areas and to make purchases. In addition, the fair presents a diverse supporting program with various events such as special shows and demonstrations, which offer visitors additional suggestions and information. Over the years, the OFFA trade fair has developed into an important event for the St. Gallen region and attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. With its wide range and thematic diversity, the fair offers something for everyone and is a popular meeting place for families, friends, and businesspeople alike.

The forty-sixth edition of the OFFA takes place on 5 days from Wed., 17.04.2024 to Sun., 21.04.2024 in St. Gallen.
