Food & Life 2024

At this year's Food & Life trade fair, taste the diversity of traditional Bavarian food and modern gastronomic trends. Experience the fusion of culture and cuisine!

This event was inaugurated in 2004 as part of the Heim + Handwerk trade fair in Munich, Germany. This biannual event is organized by Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH (GHM), a company specializing in craft and trade exhibitions.

Today, Food & Life takes place twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn, at the Messe München Exhibition Center. It brings together culinary professionals and gourmets who want to broaden their palette with many different delicacies. Visitors can taste, buy, and learn new things about a wide range of food and beverages.

Plan your trip to Munich from November 15 to November 24!
