The professional trade show for the beach of the future in Carrara
Balnearia is the professional trade show dedicated to the world of beaches and outdoor living, held every year in Carrara at the CarraraFiere exhibition center in Marina di Carrara, in the province of Massa-Carrara, Tuscany. It is a B2B event that brings together companies from the seaside sector and professionals who, before the start of the summer season, are looking for innovations, solutions, and ideas to renovate their facilities.
Balnearia takes place concurrently with Tirreno C.T., the historic fair dedicated to hospitality, catering, and tourism. Together, the two shows reach impressive figures: over 400 exhibitors and more than 850 commercial brands, with a single ticket granting access to both events. This formula makes Carrara, for four days, a true capital of professional hospitality in Central Italy.
Balnearia's offering covers the entire supply chain of beach and outdoor life:
The heart of Balnearia is not just the exhibition: every edition offers a packed calendar of conferences, seminars, and debates on the hottest topics in the sector, from the management of state concessions and coastal erosion to the digital transformation of beach clubs. The meetings involve university professors, lawyers, trade associations, and institutional representatives, offering operators a unique space for professional development and discussion in Italy.
For those working in the seaside, hospitality, and outdoor tourism sectors, Balnearia is the annual opportunity to meet suppliers, discover trends, and get a concrete idea of what the beach of the future will look like. Its timing at the beginning of the year makes it the ideal moment to plan investments and renovations ahead of the summer.
The 2026 edition of Balnearia, the 27th, was held from March 1 to 4, 2026, at CarraraFiere, concurrently with the 46th edition of Tirreno C.T. The two trade shows brought together over 400 exhibitors and more than 850 brands in outdoor furniture, beach equipment, and technologies for beach clubs. The opening ceremony took place on Sunday, March 1st at 11:30 AM, with pavilions open from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM (early closing at 5:00 PM on the last day). Numerous conferences were dedicated to the management of concessions, coastal erosion, and the digitalization of beach clubs.
