The holidays are here. The tumult of 2025 is difficult to overstate. The sprint of these last few weeks is going to be intense. But January 2026 doesn’t have to be bleary and gray. #WinterFancyFaire* will be three days of productive fun, culinary inspiration, and meaningful connection in sunny San Diego. Winter FancyFaire* is a trade show—but also so much more. It’s an opportunity to reset and revitalize as a community after the intensity of the holiday season. At a time when retailers, distributors, restaurateurs, and manufacturers are being asked to do more with less and adapt more rapidly than ever before, Winter FancyFaire* will deliver fresh inspiration, ideas, and solutions to help our industry thrive.
