CannaTrade 2026 – 25 Years Anniversary

In 2026, it’s time to celebrate 25 years of CannaTrade – International Cannabis Expo and
Festival! The first hemp fair in Switzerland took place in 2001, making it the longest-running
hemp fair in Europe. And that deserves a proper celebration!

On more than 6,000 m2 in and around Halle 622 in Zurich, 150 exhibitors from all over the world
will present products and information related to industrial, medical, and recreational cannabis.
From cultivation accessories to CBD and hemp products, medical cannabis info, edibles,
cosmetics, building materials, smoking gear and accessories – CannaTrade has everything about
hemp.

Around Halle 622, the Buds and Beats Festival invites you to enjoy the popular Chill Out Area,
food stands from around the world, the well-known Game and Art Zones, as well as the cozy
Smoking and Music Zones with the finest beats to relax and enjoy. In cooperation with Radio
RaBe (Bern), top-class DJs take over the decks, and in between, the Swiss Joint Rolling
Championship takes place.

At CannaTrade, business customers enjoy relaxed networking during the newly created B2B Day
and in the CB Lounge. And in 2026, Swiss CBD producers will once again compete in the
CannaSwissCup for the title of the best CBD flower. Excitement guaranteed!

Special anniversary highlights are in the works for the 25-year celebration, including a
comprehensive look back at 25 years of cannabis history. More details will be announced in the
coming months.
