The 33rd Easter Bazaar and Expo has officially opened at the Exhibition Center, featuring over 500 domestic and international vendors ranging from real estate developers to food and beverage providers, and manufacturers and importers of home and office equipment. Zewge Jemaneh, General Manager of Century Promotion and Events, announced during the opening ceremony that they expect around 15,000 visitors to attend the event, which he described as a “peace” (or ‘selam’ in Amharic) trade show, bazaar, and festival.

The expo is set to support emerging entrepreneurs and smaller businesses by offering participation at a subsidized rate. Jemaneh highlighted that about 500 traders are expected, providing a vibrant marketplace for banking and telecom services, real estate, insurance offerings, and much more.

He further added that the event offers an affordable opportunity for exhibitors to promote and sell their products and services, with booth rentals priced at 50,000 birr, including setup and other services. The expo, which runs from April 13 to May 6, 2024, aims to boost market development and provide a platform for business growth and networking.
