The 2025 Cologne Outdoor Products and Gardening Exhibition SPOGA&GAFA (hereinafter referred to as the German Outdoor Exhibition) will be held from June 22nd to 24th at the Cologne International Exhibition Center in Germany. The exhibition is held once a year and is hosted by the German Cologne Exhibition Company. The German Outdoor Exhibition SPOGA&GAFA is a prestigious professional exhibition.
The predecessor of the German outdoor exhibition SPOGA&GAFA was the “International Professional Exhibition of Sporting Goods, Camping Goods and Garden Furniture” (SPOGA), which was first held in Cologne in 1960. With the continuous development of the exhibition, some exhibition areas in the sports field were separated from SPOGA in 1978 and moved to the newly established professional exhibition of sporting goods in Munich. SPOGA focuses on the display of camping supplies and garden furniture, and has gradually developed into one of the world’s largest international trade fairs for sports camping supplies, outdoor furniture and gardening supplies. Since 1990, the German outdoor exhibition SPOGA&GAFA has been open to the public. The exhibition area and the number of exhibitors are relatively evenly distributed in the three fields of sports, camping and garden supplies, attracting exhibitors and visitors from all over the world.
The German outdoor exhibition SPOGA&GAFA takes “outdoors, leisure, garden, green” as its theme, keeps up with the pulse of the times, and raises people’s awareness of the positive impact of gardens as social places. For example, the 2023 exhibition is themed “Social Garden-A Place to Meet”, emphasizing gardens, balconies and terraces as interconnected, diverse and sustainable places. The exhibition covers products in many fields such as outdoor furniture, accessories, gardening tools, barbecues and outdoor kitchens. Exhibitors include green industry companies and innovative start-ups from all over the world, who showcase the latest products, innovations and garden trends. The German outdoor exhibition SPOGA&GAFA attracts exhibitors and visitors from all over the world and is an important platform for international exchanges and trade. The exhibition not only provides exhibitors with the opportunity to showcase their products and technologies, but also provides visitors with a window to understand industry trends and the latest products.
Every year, it attracts exhibitors from many countries and regions. For example, the 2023 German Outdoor Exhibition SPOGA&GAFA attracted 1,853 exhibitors from 58 countries. The exhibition attracted professional visitors and enthusiasts from all over the world. They came from different industries, including garden centers, furniture trades, furniture retail centers, and industry professionals.
