Travel and camping fairs in 2020
At the beginning of the year, it is usually almost time for Caravan Stockholm, but unfortunately the fair has been cancelled this year. The fair writes on its website that they will "return if we see that there is an opportunity to create the meeting place that is requested in an industry that is currently undergoing a change that we want to meet and accommodate".
We're waiting to see what happens with this, and in the meantime, we'll give you tips on other fairs in 2020. We have thought broadly and include not only travel and camping but also boat, photo and beverage fairs. We also include a few fairs outside Sweden's borders.

Are you planning any exhibitions in 2020?
We like hanging out at fairs (lots of meetings and inspiration!) but we don't actually know yet which ones we'll be attending this year. Are you planning to visit any fairs in 2020? If so, which one(s)?

We've talked about going to the photo fair and the beer and whiskey fair, but after working at the boat show in Stockholm for 3 years in a row, you get a bit tired of fairs 😛.

HUSBILSRESOR & ÄVENTYR says:
Many exciting fairs to attend in 2020.
So far we have finished with the Bicycle Fair in Stockholm, taking the opportunity to check out the sport fishing fair at the same time. And of course ELMIA Caravan & Motorhome which is one of the highlights of the year.
The plan also includes Fritidsmässan Lidköping, Örebro Outdoormässa, Fritidsmässan Kristinehamn and Askersund Outdoor festival.
Hope to see you at one of the fairs!

Ama de casa says:
There are many fairs! I have to admit that I can't remember being at a single travel fair... Maybe that will change this year? Or I go out and take a chance completely on my own 😀.

Yes, you are brave! 🙂 And usually take a good chance! 🙂

Eva says:
We are open to everyone...... but the closest ones to us are Sthlm Food & Wine and Fritidsmässan in Kristinehamn. Elmia is always there and simmering but we have been there so many times that it must be something or someone really interesting to attract us back. Unfortunately, we are booked up for the weekend of the beer fair in Karlstad. We have liked it and are happy to return to it.
