Canton Fair 2026, the large multi-category sourcing fair
Canton Fair 2026 in Guangzhou (Pazhou) is China's largest import-export fair across categories. Spring runs 15 April to 5 May, autumn 15 October to 4 November. Each cycle has three phases. A booth is not a factory. Papillon turns the fair into a checked shortlist, talks and, when needed, import.
Guangzhou fair 2026, which phase
Spring: phase 1 15–19 April, phase 2 23–27 April, phase 3 1–5 May. Autumn: phase 1 15–19 October, phase 2 23–27 October, phase 3 31 October – 4 November.
Phase 2 is furniture and home. Phase 1 is electronics and machines. Do not walk all three as one holiday.
Who it is not for
A single carton with no brief, a hunt for zero MOQ, or a firm that will not visit a factory. For small lots, Yiwu is often the better first step.
