spoga+gafa positions itself as the world’s most important meeting point for the garden industry, bringing manufacturers, retailers, trade visitors and industry experts from around the globe together in Cologne.
The fair covers outdoor furniture, decoration, BBQ, garden care, equipment, technology and products for outdoor sports and leisure, reflecting the full garden lifestyle value chain.
From 2026 onwards, spoga+gafa will use a newly aligned theme concept with clearer segmentation, optimised hall planning and more guided visitor flows.
Formats such as Outdoor Adventure and Flavour Market open up additional target groups, create cross-selling potential and connect garden, BBQ, lifestyle, culinary enjoyment and outdoor experiences more closely.
One open side. Cost-efficient for compact assortments, focused product launches or smaller brand presences within clearly defined theme worlds.
Two open sides. Useful for greater visibility when furniture, BBQ products, decoration or garden solutions should be seen from several visitor routes.
Three open sides. Strong for brands with multiple product lines, consultation areas and experience-oriented product presentation.
Four open sides, freestanding in the hall. Ideal for larger branded environments, outdoor furniture, BBQ staging, live demos, material worlds and intensive trade discussions.

spoga+gafa 2026 will take place from 22 to 24 June 2026 in Cologne. It is the Garden Lifestyle & BBQ Trade Fair and is regarded as a leading international meeting point for the garden industry.
The focus is on outdoor furniture, decoration, BBQ, garden care, equipment, technology and products for outdoor sports and leisure. The theme worlds Living, Creation&Care, BBQ and Outdoor Adventure will be complemented in 2026 by new formats such as Flavour Market and Garden Sourcing Hub.
For exhibitors, this means that the stand must structure assortments clearly, make products tangible and create concrete discussion settings for retail, purchasing and distribution. Clear visitor routing, high-quality material impact, flexible presentation areas and a stand concept that convincingly connects brand, product benefits and seasonal trends are particularly important.
