Today, Tuesday, August 25, the heart of the global natural stone industry beats in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The Cachoeiro Stone Fair 2026 opens its doors at the Parque de Exposição Carlos Caiado Barbosa, welcoming thousands of professionals, buyers, architects, and industry leaders to a new era for the trade show.
This 37th edition marks a strategic milestone: for the first time in its history, the exhibition shifts to a three-day format (August 25–27), aligning with international B2B event standards. Initiated by organizer Milanez & Milaneze alongside Sindirochas, this change aims to optimize business interactions and maximize commercial efficiency.
