Getting ready for Festivity:
all the latest about the 2008 edition
All the latest decorations for
Christmas, Carnival, Easter, Halloween
and other festive occasions will be
featured at the next edition of
Festivity scheduled for
16 to 20 January
2008 at the Rho-Pero exhibition centre.
The show, which runs concurrently with
MACEF (scheduled for 18 to 21 January)
will occupy more than 16.900
square metres this year, with
over 130 companies
present in Halls 22 and 24,
confirming its place as an essential
appointment for both Italian and
European specialists, wholesalers and
large-scale retail buyers, who will find
all the suggestions, previews and latest
ideas for 2008.
Special mention has to be made of the
significant growth in terms of presences and
exhibition space at Festivity 2008 of the
games
and toys and paper/packaging and party goods
sectors. The development of this latter sector,
which shares an affinity with decorations in
terms of purchases and distribution channels,
will create new opportunities and synergies at
Festivity for all visitors to the show.
In addition, the advance opening of
the Macef GIFT sector (Halls 14 and 18)
on the 17th will give operators more
time to visit these sectors, where the
goods on show are very closely related
to those of Festivity.
Christmas Village 2008
This year the “Christmas Village” will once
again offer Festivity visitors and exhibitors a
meeting place for moments of relaxation and
wellbeing. The slogan for the 2008 edition
Village will be “Alto Adige: unforgettable
enogastronomy and emotions” and will include a
foot massage point, presentation of Alto Adige’s
tourist attractions and apples handed out by
girls in traditional costume. During happy hour
there tastes will be offered of local products
such as speck, cheeses, bread, strudel, apple
juice and wines.
Several institutional stands will be present in
the “Christmas Village” area, including:
The International Toy Show;
Assogiocattoli;
Italian Toy Safety Institute;
Customs and Excise;
A free consultancy service will be available at
these stands for all Festivity operators and
exhibitors on the topics of counterfeit goods,
safety of electrical and other products, the CE
mark and updates and clarifications on the RAEE,
RoHS, Ftalates directives etc.
The Toy Fair office, together with the Fiera
Milano International office, can be contacted
for all information in this regard.
