EFICA will expand its call in June
EFICA 114th will be held at the BA FERIAL venue (former Costa Salguero), in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Sunday, June 28, Monday, June 29 and Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The fair’s opening hours will be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the first two days and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the last day.
The Chamber of the Footwear Industry of Buenos Aires (CIC), organizer of the event, will bring together manufacturers and operators from the sector for a new edition of the most important national footwear exhibition. On this occasion, trends for the Spring/Summer 2026-27 season will be presented by more than 200 brands, which will occupy a larger number of stands.
Expectations point to a significant influx of local and foreign visitors. In this regard, an International Buyers’ Round will be held in order to attract interested parties from Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay, thanks to the joint work with ProArgentina.
In addition to concentrating the general product offering, EFICA will provide spaces for networking and a High-End sector, an area especially dedicated to proposals of quality and differentiated design.
“This edition promises to be a milestone in the Argentine footwear industry,” the fair’s organization stated. CIC decided to expand the invitation to exhibit, thus covering all manufacturers in the sector, including non-members.
The initiative will allow the presence of new brands, the promotion of Argentine industry and the consolidation of commercial relations at EFICA, a space that until now had been reserved for members of the entity.
In November 2025, the 113th edition of EFICA was held, dedicated to the Fall-Winter 2026 season. In it, the main Argentine footwear brands and factories exhibited their collections, accompanied by some Brazilian companies, which participated through their local representatives. In total, there were 62 exhibitors occupying 160 stands, with more than 200 brands.
Although the number of visitors was lower than in previous editions, the presence of the main buyers from different parts of the country was valued. In addition, and with the support of the Argentine Investment and International Trade Agency, Business Rounds were held, opening interesting export possibilities, especially to Latin American countries.
