Maybe our friends in Finland are onto something.
Over 3 days, they combine 3 events under the same roof, the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre.
They are Wine, Food and Good Living (you guess what it's all about), Helsinki Book Fair celebrating its 10th anniversary under the banner 'an event of 1000 tales' and last Mussiikki (a music fair).
One ticket gives you access to all 3.
Can't we all read, listen to music while sipping some wine with a quick bite?
I am not sure if they let you walk around with your glass or your food bites and wander around from one event to the other.
Opening Hours:
All 4 Days (October 28 to October 31, 2010) from 10 AM to 6 PM.

Sorry I cannot share more details. The English version of the sites are short on specifics. I know there is a French pavillion at the Wine & Food Fair.
