Celebrating 60 years of caravans and motorhomes at CARAVAN SALON Düsseldorf

CARAVAN SALON Düsseldorf 2021

There’s a major milestone on the horizon later this year, as CARAVAN SALON Düsseldorf celebrates an auspicious achievement in 2021.

We’ve all missed the buzz of live events in the last year, given the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the disruption this caused. So you’ll be pleased to hear there’s good news on the horizon for lovers of all things caravan and motorhome.

CARAVAN SALON Düsseldorf is ready to celebrate its 60th birthday this year, with the event one of the standout shows on the international calendar for anyone with an eye on the newest innovations in touring. This year it’s scheduled to run from 27th August to 5th September.

The show first began in 1962 and every year since has drawn crowds of thousands of visitors eager to see the latest vehicles across the leisure market space. 

Despite the impact of COVID-19, the event did go ahead last year – drawing crowds of more than 107,000 from around the world. It was managed in a socially-distanced, responsible manner though, with attendance down by more than half from 2019.

Needless to say, many measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will remain in place this year. Even so, we’re extremely pleased to celebrate such an important milestone for a show that has brought us huge enjoyment over the years.

“Right from the start, CARAVAN SALON was conceived as a new products and innovations event. It now plays this role not only for the premieres of the new generation of vehicles, but also for all important innovations in the supplier and accessories industry,” commented Stefan Koschke, project director of the CARAVAN SALON.

“The CARAVAN SALON was and is the most important indicator for trends in the caravanning industry.”
