The Toy Association confirms September dates for Toy Fair New York 2023

The Toy Association has confirmed that Toy Fair New York 2023 will take place from September 30th to October 3rd, 2023 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

The change in date from February to Fall is based on factors including ‘extended lead-times in production supply chain and sourcing and evolved retailer purchasing cycles’.

“For more than a century, Toy Fair has brought together global buyers, sellers, importers, inventors, licensors, entrepreneurs, media, and everyone else with a stake in the play business – a legacy that we will continue while moving forward with a reimagined show in the heart of New York City that best serves all audiences relying on Toy Fair to advance business in a rapidly evolving retail and manufacturing environment – and tap into New York’s unique position as a finance and media hub,” said Steve Pasierb, president and CEO of The Toy Association.

“With the dates for Toy Fair New York 2023 now set, businesses have ample time to plan for what is sure to be an exceptional and much-anticipated show!”
