Every spring, Frankfurt becomes the beating heart of the shisha world. From April 25th to 27th, 2025, ShishaMesse once again brought together the biggest names in the industry: shisha manufacturers, tobacco brands, premium charcoal specialists, and the ever-growing world of puff, CBD, and pouches. It’s a must-attend event for enthusiasts and newcomers eager to discover the latest trends and innovations.
