The city of Metz, France, hosted a series of large-scale cultural and gastronomic events during the autumn of 2026.

In late September, the city held the 91st edition of the Foire Internationale de Metz at the Parc des Expositions de Metz. Centered on the theme of the Pacific Islands, the event featured approximately 550 exhibitors across various sectors such as tourism, housing, and gastronomy. The scale of the fair necessitated municipal traffic and parking restrictions in several local streets.

Following this, October saw a focus on culinary festivals. The Festin Urbain took place at Place d’Armes to showcase Moselle gastronomy, including Michelin-starred and vegan options. This was followed by the Beer and Sauerkraut Festival at Place de la République, which ran from mid-October into early November and featured live music and large-scale food service.
