Europe’s largest cannabis trade show and fair, Spannabis, has announced that its March 2025 event will be the last to be hosted in Barcelona.
The event, which attracts tens of thousands of people from around the world, has been held in the Spanish city of Barcelona since its inception in 2002.
However, the event organisers today announced that the venue that hosts the event, the Fira de Cornella, will be demolished in 2026, and no suitable alternative is available in the Catalan capital.
Barcelona has become a popular destination for cannabis consumers and industry members, thanks in part to its thriving social club scene. While cannabis is still illegal in Spain, an estimated 200 non-profit associations can be found across the city as personal possession and use are decriminalised.
The announcement was made by Spannabis in an email to exhibitors sent on 6 March. In the email, organisers explained that they do not have access to any venues in Bareclona or surrounding areas that meet the necessary requirements to hold the event. Instead, Spannabis 2026 will be held at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC) in the north of Spain.
Spannabis previously held a smaller version of its annual event in Bilbao in 2024. The 23rd edition of the event will also move to later in the year, with the dates set for 17, 18 and 19th April 2026.
