In this guide
Picture a fashion floor where apparel brands and retailers work a 100-exhibitor show, and then picture a construction hall where cement, steel and finance names share 220 stands. Both sit on the same Barranquilla calendar, and that contrast is the best way to understand this city’s exhibition year. It is not one trade; it is a stack of specialised rooms.
This guide treats the ten listed Barranquilla events as a season planner. Each entry carries a date as listed, an industry and a stated exhibitor count, so you can compare scale before you commit budget. None of the listed dates has been independently verified, and events marked with unknown status may not recur on the same rhythm. Treat every date below as a starting point for a direct conversation with each organiser.
What follows is not a ranking by prestige. It is a working calendar: which months get crowded, which sectors sit close together, and where a stand budget stretches furthest for a given audience.
Who Should Go to Which Barranquilla Show
Match the show to your buyer, not to the size of the number. A 300-exhibitor general-trade floor is impressive, but a 150-exhibitor renewables room may put you in front of the exact engineers who specify your product.
- Broad commercial pitch: ExpoBarranquilla (300 stated exhibitors) and Feria del Caribe (250) suit sellers who need many buyer types in one trip.
- Technical and regulated sectors: the construction, health, IT and renewables fairs each carry 150–220 stated exhibitors and reward documentation over decoration.
- Software and platforms: Barranquilla Tech Week (180) leans toward enterprise and developer audiences.
- Consumer-facing and creative: tourism (160) and fashion (100) are smaller rooms with sharper audience intent.
If two shows share a month, pick the one whose visitor profile you can describe in a single sentence.
The Barranquilla Exhibition Calendar, Month by Month
- ExpoBarranquilla — General trade flagship with the largest stated count
ExpoBarranquilla is listed with 300 exhibitors, the highest figure among the ten, and a March 2027 date that has unknown status. A general-trade floor of this size rewards exhibitors who sell to more than one buyer type, because the visitor mix is broad by design. Names listed as notable exhibitors span cement, construction materials and financial groups, which hints at a business-to-business audience rather than consumer footfall. If your product needs a single, wide-net outing in Barranquilla, this is the one to evaluate first. Confirm the 2027 dates directly, then build your stand plan around a generalist pitch with one sharp sector example.
Best for: Cross-sector suppliers and brand builders
- Feria del Caribe — Consumer-goods names point to a broad commercial floor
Feria del Caribe carries a November 2026 listing and 250 stated exhibitors, second only to ExpoBarranquilla in scale. The notable exhibitor names read like a consumer-goods and retail roster, which suggests a floor where distribution, shelf space and channel partnerships matter more than heavy machinery. For a food, beverage or household brand, that mix is useful: you can test packaging and pricing conversations in one place. The November slot also makes it a natural end-of-year planning stop. Because its status is unknown, approach it as a lead to verify rather than a fixed appointment, and keep your samples and printed material flexible.
Best for: Food, beverage and retail-channel sellers
- Feria Internacional de la Construcción — Construction materials and finance share one hall
The Feria Internacional de la Construcción is listed for April 2027 with 220 exhibitors, and the notable names lean heavily on cement, aggregates and materials plus a financial group. That combination is telling: construction buyers in the region often arrive with financing questions attached to material orders. An exhibitor selling fixings, finishes, equipment or project services can use this floor to meet both specifiers and the people who fund projects. April sits after the March general-trade show, so a two-stop spring trip is plausible. Dates are unconfirmed in status, so verify before you ship heavy display items.
Best for: Building suppliers, contractors, project finance
- Feria Internacional de la Salud — Pharma names signal a regulated, clinical audience
September 2026 is the listed month for the Feria Internacional de la Salud, with 200 stated exhibitors. The notable exhibitor list is dominated by pharmaceutical companies, which shapes the room: expect clinical, procurement and regulatory conversations rather than casual browsing. Suppliers of devices, consumables, lab equipment or clinic services should prepare documentation and clear specification sheets. Because the audience is specialised, a smaller stand with strong technical material can outperform a large generic one. The status is unknown, so confirm participation terms and any sector eligibility rules directly with the organiser before you design your booth.
Best for: Medical suppliers, pharma and clinic buyers
- Feria Internacional de TecnologÃa de la Información — Enterprise hardware and infrastructure names anchor the floor
The Feria Internacional de TecnologÃa de la Información is listed for October 2026 with 200 exhibitors, and the notable names skew toward hardware, devices and networking. That tells you the room is likely to attract IT managers, integrators and procurement teams rather than consumer gadget buyers. If your offer is infrastructure, endpoint devices, security or managed services, October puts you in front of buyers before year-end budget cycles close. Prepare a concise demo and a one-page integration story. The listing’s status is unknown, so treat the month as a planning anchor and confirm dates and floor rules with the organiser.
Best for: Hardware vendors, integrators, IT buyers
- Barranquilla Tech Week — Software and cloud names suggest a developer-heavy crowd
Barranquilla Tech Week is listed for November 2026 with 180 stated exhibitors, and its notable names are software and enterprise platform companies. That points to an audience of developers, IT leaders and digital transformation teams rather than hardware resellers. Exhibitors selling SaaS, data platforms or consulting should plan for conversations about integration, licensing and pilot projects. November is a busy month in this calendar, sitting alongside Feria del Caribe, so travel and staffing need early attention. Status is unknown for the listed dates; verify the schedule and any application deadlines with the organiser rather than assuming a fixed week.
Best for: Software, cloud and enterprise platforms
- Feria Internacional de Turismo — Travel brands and agencies fill a tourism-focused floor
The Feria Internacional de Turismo appears with a May 2027 listing and 160 exhibitors. Notable names include accommodation platforms, airlines and travel agencies, which suggests a room built around destination marketing, distribution deals and package partnerships. For a hotel group, tour operator or travel-tech vendor, that is a targeted audience with clear commercial intent. May also sits in a lighter stretch of this calendar, giving you room to plan a focused trip. The date status is unknown, so confirm the schedule and any buyer-programme details before committing stand space or travel.
Best for: Hotels, tour operators, travel tech
- Feria Internacional de EnergÃas Renovables — Energy developers and turbine names set the tone
February 2027 is the listed month for the Feria Internacional de EnergÃas Renovables, with 150 stated exhibitors. The notable names point to utilities, wind equipment and solar manufacturing, so the floor is likely to attract project developers, engineers and procurement teams. If you supply components, monitoring software or installation services, February gives you an early-year slot before construction and tourism events pull attention. Technical staff should be on the stand, not just sales. Because the status is unknown, verify the dates and any technical submission requirements with the organiser before you finalise your display.
Best for: Renewables, grid and energy services
- Feria Internacional de Agroindustria — Food and agribusiness names anchor a January start
The Feria Internacional de Agroindustria opens the listed calendar in January 2027 with 150 exhibitors. Notable names are food and beverage producers plus agribusiness groups, which suggests buyers interested in processing, packaging and supply partnerships. That makes it a strong first-quarter stop for equipment makers, ingredient suppliers and cold-chain service providers. January also means you can set the year’s pipeline early, before the spring cluster of construction and general-trade events. The listing’s status is unknown, so check dates and any sector-specific requirements directly with the organiser before booking stands or freight.
Best for: Food producers, agri suppliers, processors
- Barranquilla Fashion Week — Apparel and retail brands on a compact fashion floor
Barranquilla Fashion Week is listed for August 2026 with 100 exhibitors, the smallest stated count here. That compact size is an advantage for a fashion or textile business: fewer stands, more concentrated buyer attention. Notable names include apparel retailers and sportswear brands, so the audience likely mixes retail buyers with brand teams. August also sits alone in the summer stretch of this calendar, making it an easy trip to plan. Status is unknown for the listed dates, so confirm the schedule and any collection-submission rules with the organiser before you commit samples.
Best for: Fashion labels, retail buyers, textile suppliers

Barranquilla as a Meeting Point for Caribbean and Andean Buyers
Barranquilla sits on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, and the event mix reflects that position: food and agribusiness, tourism, construction and energy all appear alongside general trade. Exhibitors often use a coastal event to meet buyers from across the region without committing to several separate trips. The calendar supports that logic, because the ten listed events spread across ten different months rather than crowding into one week.
| Month listed | Event | Stated exhibitors |
|---|---|---|
| August 2026 | Barranquilla Fashion Week | 100 |
| September 2026 | Feria Internacional de la Salud | 200 |
| October 2026 | Feria Internacional de TecnologÃa de la Información | 200 |
| November 2026 | Feria del Caribe; Barranquilla Tech Week | 250; 180 |
November is the only listed month with two events, so it needs the earliest planning. Everything else is sequential, which makes a multi-trip strategy realistic for a regional seller.
A Practical Travel Kit for the Barranquilla Season
Because every listed venue field is empty, your first job is to get the address and floor plan from each organiser. Build a simple kit around that gap.
- Date verification sheet: one line per event with the listed month, status, organiser contact and the date you last checked.
- Stand budget split: space, build, freight and staff. Smaller floors such as fashion (100) and renewables (150) can absorb a tighter budget.
- Documentation pack: technical sheets for health, construction and energy buyers; commercial one-pagers for general trade.
- Staffing plan: November needs cover for two events in the same month if you attend both Feria del Caribe and Barranquilla Tech Week.
- Weather and shipping buffer: coastal humidity affects printed material and electronics; pack accordingly and allow lead time.
Keep this kit in one shared document so a colleague can pick up the trip if plans change.
A Final Recommendation on Where to Start
Start with the sector you can defend. If you sell to many buyer types, evaluate ExpoBarranquilla and Feria del Caribe first, because their stated counts are the highest on the list. If your product needs a technical conversation, the construction, health, IT or renewables fairs will likely serve you better than a broad floor.
Then look at the month. January and February open the year with agribusiness and renewables; spring brings construction and general trade; autumn stacks health, IT, fashion and a crowded November. Pick no more than two shows for your first Barranquilla season and treat both as learning trips. Confirm dates and participation terms with each organiser before you spend on space or travel, and keep your stand design reusable across sectors.
Barranquilla Trade Show FAQ
Are the dates for these Barranquilla events confirmed?
No. Every listed date carries an unknown status, and this guide has not independently verified any of them. The months shown are planning anchors only. Contact each organiser to confirm the schedule, venue and application deadlines before you commit to stand space, freight or travel.
Which Barranquilla show lists the most exhibitors?
ExpoBarranquilla is listed with 300 exhibitors, followed by Feria del Caribe at 250 and the construction fair at 220. Those figures come from the supplied event data and describe listed counts only; they are not a forecast of any future edition.
When is the busiest month in this calendar?
November appears twice, with Feria del Caribe and Barranquilla Tech Week both listed for that month. Every other month in the set holds a single event. If you plan to attend both November shows, arrange staffing, accommodation and shipping earlier than for the rest of the year.
Can I combine several Barranquilla events in one trip?
Sometimes. The calendar spreads across ten different months, so most shows sit apart. The realistic pairings are events in consecutive months, such as the September health fair and the October IT fair. Confirm each date first, because listed months are unverified and could shift.
What should I prepare before contacting a Barranquilla organiser?
Have your stand size, product category, target buyer profile and budget ready. Ask for the venue address, floor plan, participation rules and any sector eligibility requirements. For regulated fields such as health, construction and energy, request documentation standards early so your technical material is ready in time.
Pick one Barranquilla event that matches your buyer, note its listed month, and write to that organiser this week asking for the venue, floor plan and application deadline. Confirm the date before you spend on anything else.
