Windhoek Show

It combines an agricultural exhibition, several industrial and retail offerings, and a range of entertainment facilities.

Held during the first week of October, the Windhoek Show is the biggest industrial and agricultural exhibition in Namibia.

[1] The first Windhoek Show was held in 1899 when the country, then known as German South-West Africa, was still a colony of Imperial Germany.

After the end of World War I, South-West Africa came under South African administration which organised its first post-war Windhoek Show in 1930.

Further expansion attempts through splitting several smaller thematic shows from the main event did not become economically viable and were soon discontinued.
