At the Opmeer Agricultural Show, you can see farm life up close. Horses, cows, sheep, goats, small animals, shows and stallholders fill De Weijver. A large-scale event, yet still with its feet firmly in the clay. Just Opmeer, but at its busiest.
Who is this a good site for?
For families, farmers, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who wants to see what’s happening in the countryside. You don’t need to have an agricultural background – curiosity is enough. Children are in their element watching the animals, whilst adults linger at the shows, competitions and stalls.
When will you visit here?
The Agricultural Show takes place one day a year: the first Monday in August. In 2026, that day falls on Monday 3 August. That makes it crystal clear. If you want to be there, you simply need to keep that date free.

What to expect.
You can hear horses trotting across the grounds, see cows in the judging ring and walk past sheep, goats, small animals and alpacas. Meanwhile, you’ll come across exhibitors, machinery and people from the agricultural world. It’s a day full of fresh air, craftsmanship and lively conversations. No set design. This is simply the countryside at work.
Practical information
The Agricultural Show takes place at Recreatiepark De Weijver in Hoogwoud. Expect a full day outdoors, with plenty of visitors, animals, stalls and shows. Tickets can be purchased via the website. Information regarding dogs, accessibility and dietary options is not entirely clear. You should therefore check the organiser’s practical information page in advance. Parking and access details will be provided separately closer to the event.
When are you welcome?
The Agricultural Show takes place annually on the first Monday in August. For 2026, the event is scheduled for Monday 3 August. The current times and programme can be found on the organisation’s website.
Our tip for your visit
Don’t just come for the big shows. Be sure to wander past the judging rings and the smaller animals too. That’s often where you’ll see the finest work: people who know what they’re doing, without making a fuss about it.
