Description
In perpetuating the long history and tradition of fairs, that began for us as long ago as 1242 when the King Bela IV promulgated the Golden Bull announcing that the City of Zagreb was granted the status of free royal city with a right to hold fairs Zagreb has nurtured and successfully developed trade.
The first large international exhibition was held in 1864 in Zagreb. It is no accident that Zagreb Fair has developed over many years to become the leading fair in this part of Europe and the eleventh largest fair in the world. Zagreb Fair is one of the founder-member of the Union of International Fairs (UFI), in 1925.
The period from 1956 and onwards is considered to be especially significant for the development of the Zagreb Fair, as according to merit of Mr. Veceslav Holjevac, the mayor of the City of Zagreb, the grounds of the Zagreb Fair was relocated across the river Sava. And from that time on the Zagreb Fair has started its vigorous growth.
