Trade - organising trade fairs, exhibitions and markets

If you, as a commercial supplier, wish to organise a trade fair, an exhibition, a wholesale market, a weekly market, a special and funfair or a folk festival, you can apply for the event in question to be scheduled. This authorisation entails a number of benefits (market privileges), for example:

  • Exemption from trade law regulations for standing trades (e.g. trade licence)
  • Exemption from trade law regulations on travelling trade (e.g. travelling trade licence requirement)
  • Exemption from restrictions of the Berlin Shop Opening Act (the opening hours stipulated in the notice of determination take its place)
A trade fair is a temporary, generally regularly recurring event at which a large number of exhibitors display the main products of one or more sectors of the economy and sell them predominantly by sample to commercial resellers, commercial consumers or bulk buyers. The organiser may, to a limited extent, allow end consumers to make purchases on individual days during certain opening hours.

An exhibition is a temporary event at which a large number of exhibitors display and sell a representative range of products from one or more economic sectors or economic areas or provide information about these products for the purpose of promoting sales.

A wholesale market is an event at which a large number of suppliers sell certain goods or goods of all kinds mainly to commercial resellers, commercial consumers or bulk buyers.

A weekly market is a regularly recurring, time-limited event at which a large number of vendors offer one or more of the following types of goods for sale:
  • Food, generally excluding alcoholic beverages. However, alcoholic beverages are permitted if they are made from home-grown products from viticulture, agriculture or fruit and horticulture.
  • Products from fruit growing and horticulture, agriculture, forestry and fishing.
  • raw natural products with the exception of larger livestock.
In addition, other everyday goods (e.g. household goods) may be authorised; further details are regulated by the respective market regulations.

A speciality market is generally a regularly recurring, time-limited event at which a large number of vendors offer certain goods for sale.

A fair is generally a regularly recurring, time-limited event at which a large number of vendors offer goods of all kinds for sale.
Activities in the sense of folk festivals can also be carried out at a speciality market or funfair.
