City fairs of Voronezh earned almost 17 billion rubles

The mayor of Voronezh Sergey Petrin heard a report on the preliminary results of retail trade in the city. The information was presented by the head of the profile department Yulia Provotorova.

At the moment, there are four retail markets in Voronezh, where more than 1.3 thousand retail places are equipped. Another 3,000 seats are placed at 50 city fairs. For nine months of 2026, the turnover of fair trade in the city amounted to almost 17 billion rubles.

Separately, at the meeting, changes in the legislation regulating fair and market activities were discussed. In particular, the organizers of the fairs will be able to extend the existing contracts once, taking into account the revaluation of the market value of the right to organize. In addition, the term of such contracts is increased from 5 to 10 years. The site is also waiting for reconstruction: it is planned to use new standard architectural solutions for open and closed trading places and update the infrastructure.

So far, 36 fairs have renegotiated accommodation contracts. The rest will move to new terms after the expiration of the previous agreements.

According to Yulia Provotorova, the appearance of the existing fairs is outdated. Innovations should improve the appearance of the city and make trading platforms more convenient for residents. New architectural solutions, as noted, combine aesthetics and functionality.

Earlier it was reported that tourism brought to the budget of Voronezh about 48 million rubles for 10 months of 2026. In the city administration, this direction is considered promising for the economy and plan to allocate part of the funds received for its further development and promotion.
