Astro fair AME

The AME astronomy fair has been held every September since 2006 on the grounds of the Südwest Messe in Villingen-Schwenningen in Baden-Württemberg . With over 60 exhibitors, it has developed into the largest astronomy trade fair in Europe.

The target group are amateur astronomers from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Italy. The fair presents astronomy equipment and literature. The fair includes a supporting program with lectures, workshops and, in good weather, sun observations. In addition to companies and dealers, associations, individuals and institutes as well as universities also exhibit at the astronomy fair.
