spoga+gafa, the leading global trade fair for garden lifestyle and BBQ, is pleased at strong participation from the Netherlands: the Dutch Outdoor Furnishing Association (DOFAS) is also accompanying the trade fair in 2026 with numerous member companies and thus emphasises the importance of spoga+gafa as the central business platform for the international outdoor living industry.
A central success factor for the trade fair is the close cooperation with international associations. “We are very pleased at the clear commitment of the DOFAS and the strong presence of Dutch companies at spoga+gafa 2026. The close and trustful cooperation with the association is of great importance to us and is an important building block for the further international development of the trade fair“, says Claudia Maurer, Director of spoga+gafa.
That the continuing developments of the trade fair in terms of content or structure have met with a positive response in the industry has also been confirmed by the DOFAS. “spoga+gafa remains an important event for many of our members. We appreciate the steps Koelnmesse is taking to further develop the fair and strengthen its position in the outdoor living industry. We look forward to a clearly renewed and highly successful 2026 edition”, says Harmen Wim Lammers, Director of DOFAS.
A large field of DOFAS member participants have already registered for spoga+gafa 2026, also including: 4 Seasons Outdoor, Applebee, CFM Traders, Eurofar International, Gimeg Nederland B.V., Golden Care, Hartman B.V., Higold, Lesli Living, Life Outdoor Living International B.V., Platinum, Shadow Comfort, Sunsit and Winza B.V.
The exhibitor landscape acquires increased international relevance with the return of Garden Impressions Outdoor B.V., which was most recently represented at the trade fair in 2019.
The strong participation of the Dutch outdoor furniture industry emphasises the role of spoga+gafa as the central meeting point for the trade, manufacturers and industry decision makers from around the world. Also with the further developed "growing forward" concept, the 2026 trade fair is deliberately striving for formats that pick up on current market requirements, open new sales channels and reinforce the professional exchange along the entire outdoor living value creation chain.
spoga+gafa 2026 is being staged in Cologne from 22 to 24 June.
