For anyone furnishing a first apartment in Bogotá, this is the week the whole market comes to one building.

The Feria del Hogar is open at Corferias in Bogotá and closes on Sunday 20 September 2026. It began on 3 September.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Bogotá time every day until it ends. General admission costs 16,000 Colombian pesos, about US$5.

The fair fills the Corferias site at Carrera 37 number 24-67, in the Teusaquillo district. It is Colombia’s long-running home and living exhibition.

What Is Actually Inside

This is a consumer fair rather than a trade show. Anyone can walk in and buy.

The halls cover furniture, mattresses, kitchenware, appliances, lighting and decoration. Textiles, bedding, fashion, jewellery, wellness products and pet supplies follow.

There is a services section as well, covering home repairs and installation. A food area and a cultural programme run alongside.

This year’s cultural showcase is built around Colombia’s Pacific region. That means music and cooking from the coast rather than from the Andean interior.

Why It Is Useful for a Newcomer

Furnishing a first apartment in an unfamiliar city usually means a fortnight of separate trips. Here the suppliers are all under one roof for three weeks.

Prices are negotiable in a way they are not in shopping centres. Fair pricing at Corferias is closer to market pricing.

More than a thousand exhibitors are taking part. About four hundred are small businesses, and 135 of those are Bogotá companies backed by the city government.

Organisers expect more than a hundred thousand visitors across the run. Weekday mornings are the quietest time to go.

The Offer That Ends on Wednesday

A two-for-one promotion runs from Monday to Wednesday each week. One ticket admits two people.

The remaining qualifying days are Monday 15 and Wednesday 16 September 2026. After that the offer is gone for this edition.

A separate free-entry evening was held on 4 September and has passed. A ten per cent online discount expired on 2 September.

A three-day pass costs 40,000 pesos, about US$13. That only makes sense if you are genuinely shopping rather than browsing.

Practical Details

Children under twelve enter free when accompanied by an adult. Everyone twelve or over pays the standard 16,000 pesos, about US$5.

Tickets are sold on the fair’s own website and at the box office on site. Both accept cards.

The fair is fully pet-friendly and there are dog costume competitions. Roughly two-thirds of Colombian households keep a pet, which explains the emphasis.

A children’s zone with a gaming area runs throughout. That makes it workable as a family day rather than a shopping errand.

What It Costs to Furnish a Room

Prices at the fair are not published in advance and vary by exhibitor. What is predictable is the structure.

Larger manufacturers hold firm on list prices and compete on delivery and credit terms. The smaller stands are where negotiation actually works.

Delivery across Bogotá is usually included above a threshold. Ask before you pay, because the threshold differs by seller.

Getting to Corferias

Corferias sits in Teusaquillo, beside the university district and west of the historic centre. The main entrance is on Carrera 37.

TransMilenio routes along the Calle 26 and NQS corridors serve the area. Corferias does not publish transit directions on its own site, so check the current station before you set out.

Taxis and ride apps reach the entrance directly. On weekends the surrounding streets fill early.
