About Expoflora

Every spring, Fossano, in the heart of the Cuneo province, bursts into color and fragrance with Expoflora, one of Piedmont's most beloved horticultural market exhibitions. Spanning the City Park, Viale Alpi, and Via Roma, over 100 exhibitors—including nurserymen, floriculturists, and florists—transform the city into a vast open-air garden, complemented by a gourmet market of local products, educational workshops, and plenty of family-friendly activities.

A spring of flowers in the heart of Fossano

Expoflora is one of the most anticipated events in the calendar of Fossano, a city in the Cuneo area that transforms into a sprawling garden every spring. For an entire weekend, the City Park, Viale Alpi, and Via Roma host a horticultural and gastronomic market exhibition that draws visitors from across Piedmont and nearby Liguria. Flowers, garden plants, orchids, houseplants, small fruits, and everything related to greenery blend with the aromas of fine local cuisine in an event that unites floral art, agricultural tradition, and local culture.

Over 100 exhibitors featuring flowers, plants, and garden technology

The heart of Expoflora is the grand exhibition bringing together over 100 exhibitors: nurserymen, floriculturists, and florists showcase their products alongside stands dedicated to outdoor furniture, home decor, and agricultural technology. Set across thousands of square meters between the park and the avenue, the exhibition is the perfect opportunity to purchase plants, get professional advice, and find inspiration for your own garden or balcony.

The gourmet market and the short supply chain

Alongside the flowers, Expoflora gives plenty of space to taste. The gourmet market on Via Roma brings the flavors of the Cuneo area to the city center with stalls featuring local specialties. The event is supported by organizations such as Coldiretti, Campagna Amica, Cia Agricoltori Italiani di Cuneo, and Slow Food Fossano, which enliven the event by promoting short supply chains and zero-kilometer products.

Workshops and activities for all ages

Expoflora is more than just shopping; it is an educational and participatory experience. Recent editions have featured an educational vegetable garden, free workshops for children, the creation of "seed bombs" using clay, beeswax and honey lip balm workshops, and pedal tractor games designed to introduce the little ones to the world of agriculture. Activities take place between the Bastions and the historic town squares.

A symbolic appointment of the Cuneo spring

For Fossano, the historic capital of the plains between Cuneo and Saluzzo, Expoflora represents one of the defining events of the spring season, capable of attracting thousands of visitors and showcasing the horticultural and agricultural excellence of the Province of Cuneo and all of Piedmont. An event that, edition after edition, renews the bond between the city, its territory, and the culture of greenery.

Expoflora — edition 2026

The 2026 edition of Expoflora took place in Fossano on Saturday, May 9th and Sunday, May 10th, featuring over 100 exhibitors between the City Park and Viale Alpi, the gourmet market on Via Roma, and numerous educational workshops dedicated to greenery and short supply chains.

The 2026 edition of Expoflora confirmed the great appeal of the Fossano event, with two days dedicated to flowers, plants, and local flavors.
