Functional Fabric Fair 2026
Functional Fabric Fair is a trade-exclusive sourcing event dedicated to high-performance functional fabrics, finishes, trims and accessories. Powered by PERFORMANCE DAYS®, it is billed as the premier marketplace in the United States where apparel CEOs, designers and product development executives source the newest material innovations. Every exhibitor is drawn from a carefully curated selection of fabric mills and branded technology companies, and the show is staged as a sustainable, minimal-waste exhibition using biodegradable, recycled and reusable materials. The Portland Fall edition is tailored for professionals at the forefront of the outdoor, lifestyle and activewear industries, spanning textiles, footwear and accessories. Attendees preview cutting-edge trims and technologies set to shape the 2026/2027 Fall and Winter seasons, and can source fabrics directly on site from verified suppliers. Garment segments supported include sportswear, outdoor activewear, lifestyle wear, workwear, bodywear/shapewear and rain gear. The event is open to verified designers, product specialists, purchasing experts, material managers, sustainability directors and other qualified industry professionals. Beyond the exhibit hall, the show features an Expert Talks program and a Day 0 OIA Catalyst Conference, making it a strong destination for anyone focused on responsible, future-ready sourcing in performance apparel.
