Olma 2026 fair to feature new Action Area in St. Gallen
The 83rd Olma, Switzerland’s major agricultural and food fair, is scheduled to take place from October 8 to 18, 2026, in St. Gallen. Under the theme ‘Olma– und Action!’, the event expects approximately 330,000 visitors and 640 exhibitors.
A significant new feature for this edition is the ‘Olma Action Area’ located in Hall 9.0. This space is designed for interactive experiences, including an ‘Arbo Park’ with over ten attractions, a Lego landscape titled ‘Bau-Chaschte’, padel tennis demonstrations, bouldering, and laser games.
The Canton of Schwyz will serve as the guest canton for 2026. Through a 1,000-square-meter special exhibition titled ‘Schwyz liefert’, the region will showcase its culture, agriculture, industry, and tourism to the public.
