Berlin’s Grüne Woche 2026 kicks off with food, farming, and royal harvest traditions
The 2026 Grüne Woche trade fair has opened its doors in Berlin, showcasing agriculture, food, and regional traditions. Running for ten days, the main event brings together around 1,600 exhibitors from 50 countries. Organisers anticipate roughly 325,000 visitors eager to explore rural and urban connections through food and innovation.
This year’s Brandenburg Hall 21A has expanded its offerings, highlighting agricultural research and local specialties. Top chefs from the region will demonstrate their skills in the Brandenburg cooking studio, preparing dishes with regional ingredients.
On Brandenburg Day, Minister-President Dietmar Woidke and Agriculture Minister Hanka Mittelstädt will tour the hall alongside Christian Braune, the state’s first male Erntekönig (harvest king). Braune, a farmer from Brandenburg, was officially crowned on January 19 during the event. Federal Agriculture Minister Alois Rainer praised Grüne Woche as a proven success, while Berlin’s Governing Mayor Kai Wegner stressed the need for healthy, sustainable food in cities and nationwide. The fair’s focus remains on bridging rural and urban lifestyles. Visitors must purchase tickets online, with day passes priced at €17 and season tickets at €48. Cash payments are not accepted, and organisers encourage the use of public transport to reach the venue.
The 2026 Grüne Woche runs until the end of the month, blending tradition with modern agricultural trends. With expanded exhibits, live cooking, and high-profile appearances, the event highlights Brandenburg’s role in Germany’s food and farming sectors. Tickets remain available online for those wishing to attend the events near me.
