Retro Classics Bavaria will present itself in 2025 with a new concept, an expanded range and a new date: instead of the usual December, the driving culture trade fair will take place from November 7 to 9, 2025 - for the first time parallel to Consumenta at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center.
This merger of two strong trade fair formats will create a unique trade fair experience in southern Germany. Consumenta, which has been established for over 70 years, is one of the most popular consumer trade fairs in the region and attracts a broad audience from the leisure, household, tourism and lifestyle sectors to Nuremberg.
Retro Classics Bavaria complements this spectrum with automotive passion, classic vehicle worlds and a high-quality exhibition environment on over 20,000 square meters of exhibition space. It creates an experience that goes far beyond the classic exhibition: automotive history meets modern driving culture, tradition is combined with contemporary trends, and visitors with a wide range of interests find a platform here that arouses emotions and sparks enthusiasm.
The "Car & Style" theme introduced at Consumenta creates the ideal link, expands the range for all car enthusiasts and is dedicated to current trends and a younger target group. The focus is on tuning, tuning parts, car hi-fi and new cars - complemented by a varied supporting program with DJ sets, sound checks and modern lifestyle elements. "Car & Style" is deliberately positioned as a supplement to the classic vehicle culture and enriches the trade fair offering with new facets of the automotive scene.
The joint trade fair date promises high coverage: Over 120,000 visitors are expected over the three days. The catchment area of the combined event covers around four million inhabitants, flanked by broad-based advertising measures throughout the Nuremberg metropolitan region and beyond.
Thanks to the November date, the strategic partnership with Consumenta and the introduction of new themed areas, Retro Classics Bavaria is positioning itself as a future-proof trade fair format that perfectly combines tradition and innovation. We are looking forward with great enthusiasm to what lies ahead: an exciting trade fair cooperation, new theme worlds and an atmospheric event experience for all generations.
