La Rochelle: tribute concerts, animals and plants in the spotlight, great deals... We tell you everything about the 2025 Fair-Exhibition

From August 30th to September 7th, nearly 200 exhibitors will be gathered across 11,000 square meters of booths at the Haut-Rillon racecourse. Regulars will find lively aisles, bargains to be found (housing, outdoor recreation, furniture, interior design, etc.), and a food court with regional and exotic products. Note the return of major motorhome brands.

On the entertainment side, the fair will showcase animals and plants. From Saturday, August 30th to Monday, September ^1st , a "Pets and the Animal World" exhibition will be dedicated to furry and feathered companions, with breeders, representatives of canine and feline clubs, and industry professionals offering numerous activities and workshops. A section will showcase the region's wildlife.

New big stage

From Friday, September 5th to Sunday, September 7th, the "Plant World" exhibition will explore the world of gardens, with advice from horticulturists and nurserymen, gardening workshops, and plant sales. The topics of protecting and enhancing the natural environment will also be addressed.

Music will be omnipresent throughout the event, as during Seniors' Day, Monday, September ^1st , where the Saintes singer Cathy Joubert will offer a guinguette dance. New this year: a large stage positioned opposite the racecourse grandstand will allow as many people as possible to enjoy the concerts, starting with a "Tribute Queen," a tribute to Brian May and Freddie Mercury. Tuesday, September 2nd, another "tribute" will appeal to fans of Bernard Lavilliers. Thursday, September 4th, returns to the era of "Salut les copains" and the "Yéyé Years." The last show, Saturday, September 6th, remains to be confirmed, but it should provide a Caribbean atmosphere...
