The European pastry and specialty coffee scene takes over Prague for three days from November 19 to 21, 2026. Gastro Sweet Fest 2026 uses PVA Letnany as its venue and runs alongside other trade fairs, increasing the professional audience on site.
Event layout at PVA Letnany
The festival is organized into focused zones that make visits efficient. Announced areas include a pastry zone, a baking zone, a beverages zone and a modern gastronomy zone. Food trucks and mobile stands feature alongside a section dedicated to service and design. The event runs in parallel with FOR BEAUTY, FOR KIDS and FOR INTERIOR, creating cross-sector traffic.
Scale and reach
Information from the festival states that the combined programme attracts more than 30 000 visitors. That scale matters for ingredient suppliers, equipment manufacturers and coffee brands looking for exposure in Central Europe.
Competitions and spotlight activities
Competitive formats are part of the programme. Cake Art 2026 is one highlighted contest with the theme Magický svět for artistic cake creations and accepts entries from both hobbyists and professionals. Competitions are useful moments to capture media and buyer attention.
