introduction

The Windhoek Show has its origin in the agricultural sector, being the earliest backbone of the Namibian economy.

Brief history

The 1st Windhoek Agricultural Show in German South West Africa was held as early 2 and 3 June 1899, with 22 exhibitors. At that show, the farmers from Klein Windhoek exhibited a variety of products ranging from fresh produce to wine.

Supports

The Windhoek Show can easily be described as a micro showcase of Namibia. Participants from the Government, ranging from the offices of the President and the Prime Minister to Ministries and mainline Parastatals amidst formal (large and small) and informal private sector businesses - all constitute and contribute to making this event the largest of its kind in Namibia.

Sponsors

• Agra
• First National Bank
• Standard Bank
• Meatco
• namib Mills
• Bokomo

Food

Apart from the Agricultural and Industrial exhibits, the annual Windhoek Show also boasts of an array of food outlets offering a wide choice of cuisines that can be enjoyed with Namibia's popular beers.

People from different cultures in our country are willing to taste different types of foods from other culture, so during the windhoek show is the great chance to have a look at different foods from other cultures. Young generations can still have a taste of old foods.

Entertainment

Live music festivals seem to be on the rise in the country, providing Namibian lovers with great platforms and different sounds on different levels.

Tafel Lager NamRock Music Festival offers music lovers everything from Folk to Rock to Heavy Metal, and is being hosted for the second consecutive year at the Windhoek Showground with a total of 60 musicians taking to the stage throughout the event.

Entertainment for both young and old, ranging from the popular merry-go-round to various other attractions - the snake park, animal park, laser shooting, bunji rockets - constitutes an important component of the overall programm.

Agriculture

Throughout its existence, the agricultural sector of the Windhoek Show - focusing predominantly on the stud breeders of large and small stock animals - has been the premier event of the Namibian breeders' associations. National and World Championships of respective breeds are held on a regular basis during the annual Windhoek Show. Over the past few years, the event has been marked by a growing trend in participating breeders and number of animals - in both, large- and small stock breeds. Record prices are attained at the auctions of animals during the show, which confirms Namibia's supreme breeding stock being sought world-wide.
