BEA marks the start of spring in Bern. This popular fair combines tradition, food and entertainment – with animals, regional specialties and plenty of experiences for the whole family.

When spring arrives in Bern, the exhibition grounds belong to the BEA. This long standing public fair for trade, agriculture and industry is one of the spring highlights in the Bern Region and attracts thousands of visitors every year. For ten days, the BERNEXPO site turns into a lively world of experiences. Farm animals, regional products, exciting exhibitions and varied shows provide entertainment throughout the fair.
The BEA also offers plenty of culinary delights. From hearty specialties to sweet treats, the market stalls and restaurants serve a wide range of flavours.
