About Functional Fabric Fair Summer New York
Functional Fabric Fair Summer is the New York edition of the performance fabric sourcing show run by RX with PERFORMANCE DAYS, and it takes place on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 July at the Javits Center on Manhattan's West Side.
The organiser says the Summer edition gives attendees early access to performance innovations for the 2027/2028 seasons and links more than 155 suppliers with designers and sourcing teams in the outdoor and performance sportswear sectors, with a Summer Spotlight on outdoor activities, all weather gear, bodywear and shapewear. It is a two day show: the exhibit hall and Expert Talks run on both days.
The Javits Center sits in Hudson Yards, where the 7 train, several bus routes and a ferry connection make it easy to stay in Midtown or Chelsea without a car. The organiser also runs shows in Portland in spring and autumn and in Orlando in winter; this page covers the July show in New York.

Around Manhattan

Do you need a visa for Functional Fabric Fair Summer New York?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Check the current US entry rules for your passport on official US government websites before you travel, as they change
- US Customs and Border Protection says the Visa Waiver Program lets citizens of eligible countries travel to the United States for business or tourism without a visa
- Visa Waiver travellers need an approved ESTA, and CBP recommends applying as soon as you begin preparing travel plans or before buying airline tickets
eVisa / visa required
- If your country is not part of the Visa Waiver Program, you will normally need a US visitor visa from a US embassy or consulate
- Appointment waits differ widely by country, so check them early if you plan to be in New York in July
- An ESTA or visa does not guarantee entry: CBP officers decide admissibility when you arrive
Documents to carry
- A passport valid for your whole stay, with the ESTA approval or visa linked to that passport
- Your Functional Fabric Fair registration confirmation and, if you are exhibiting, a letter from your employer explaining your role at the show
- Your hotel booking and onward or return travel details, which border officers may ask to see
US entry rules, fees and processing times change often, so check the official US government websites or your nearest US embassy before you book travel.
First time at Functional Fabric Fair Summer New York?
- Pre-register on the organiser's New York page; it says registration for the Summer show is expected to open in April
- Use the organiser's meetings platform to book supplier appointments before you arrive, as the organiser suggests
- It is a two day show, so decide early which supplier meetings go on Tuesday, which has the longer hours, and which on Wednesday
- Plan your route on the floor plan ahead of time, as the organiser suggests, so you reach the mills that matter most first
- The organiser describes the audience as apparel designers, product developers and sourcing teams rather than general visitors
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- The Summer edition looks ahead to the 2027/2028 seasons, so bring briefs for those collections rather than the current one
- Wednesday closes at 17:00, which leaves time for an evening flight from JFK, LaGuardia or Newark if you leave straight after the show
- The organiser's hotel page for its 2026 show used an official housing company with limited reduced-rate rooms; our hotel search is independent of that and separate from your show registration
