Although I live in USA I am intrigued by the incredible insect fairs of Europe which we just do not have here. Can anyone please let me know about the Belgium insect fairs which I think are in Leige and or Seraing in March or April of 2020? How do these fairs compare with the amazing fairs of Juvisy, Frankfurt and Modena later in the fall months? Any news or help on these fairs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Seraing has a Fall and Spring fair. I have never been to the one in Spring, only the one in Fall. It was one of my most favorite fairs. Lots of sellers, lots of visitors, affordable tables. It is smaller than Modena or Frankfurt in number of tables, but personally I found the selection of things just as good as on the other fairs. Good times.

Hello
The fair in Seraing is actually tomorrow. I will make some pictures to give you a feeling of the size and atmosphere. In spring there are actually 2 fairs. First 1 in Mons and the second one in Droixhe (Liege). All 3 fairs are similar in size but the fairs in spring have more international sellers. I have only been to Paris to compare and prices in Belgium are much more affordable for tables and specimens (sellers are charging extra for the higher costs in Paris I guess). Size of the fair is a lot smaller and less international sellers but the vibe in our Belgian fairs is very good. Much more space to walk along the stands. Better beer (very important) en nice food.
I hope to see some of you guys there tomorrow.

Dear Collector brothers,
Thank you for your kind informative responses. Although I have missed the past weekend fair in Seraing I shall make a serious effort to attend the fairs in spring. Would you please be so kind as to let me know exactly when and where they are in Mons and Droixhe or where I can find out about them on the internet. Any photos of this past weekend fair in Seraing? Thank you.

Hello Sorry I didn't have the time yet to post some of my pictures. But on www.facebook.com/insectoramaseraing/ you can find a lot of information and pictures of the Seraing fair. Fair in Droixhe is april 26 from 9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. Espace Georges Truffaut, Avenue de Lille 5 in Bressoux (Droixhe). For the fair in Mons I don't know the exact date. This year it was march 17. Fair is called Ento-Mons and is being held by the local Kiwanis organisation. |
