Canton Fair

The 140th Canton Fair's Phase 3 will run from October 31 to November 4, 2026, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. Under the official theme 'Better Life', this phase focuses on fashion, textiles, footwear, bags, food and related consumer goods, drawing international buyers and suppliers ahead of the event.

The Canton Fair is introducing a membership programme for overseas buyers at its 140th edition. All registered international buyers will be automatically enrolled, with the scheme adding loyalty points, permanent status levels and redeemable benefits to China's largest sourcing event. The move aims to encourage repeat attendance and deepen ties with the fair's global buyer base.
