The origins of the WeFair trade fair
The fair was first held in Linz in 2008 as a small event for sustainable fashion under the name WearFair+mehr. It was very well received and has grown steadily since then. In 2021 it was renamed WeFair and is now one of Austria's largest trade fairs with a focus on sustainability. It always takes place for a weekend in autumn in Linz and, since 2023, also in spring in Vienna.
