What Is the International Leo Expo?
The Leo Expo has been running in Guwahati for more than two decades and is now one of the city’s most anticipated annual events. It brings international traders, Indian manufacturers and Northeast artisans together under one roof at the Maniram Dewan Trade Centre, the state’s main exhibition venue, developed by the Assam Government with the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO).
It is part shopping festival, part cultural fair. Families come for the stalls, food and evening atmosphere, while traders from across India and abroad stay in the city for the full run of Leo Expo 2026 Guwahati.

Tips for Visiting Leo Expo 2026 Guwahati
- Go on a weekday afternoon if you want to shop without crowds. Evenings and weekends are livelier but much busier.

- Wear comfortable shoes. The halls and open grounds cover a large area.
- Plan your ride back. NH-27 near Betkuchi and ISBT gets congested in the evening; book a cab early or stay nearby.
