It is Waterford's only agricultural show, one of the largest in Munster, and one of the longest running shows in Ireland.

There is loads to look forward to on the 90 acres this weekend, with the Waterford Truck Show joining the grounds to put on a display.

There will be Artisan Food Stalls, a falconry display, a dog show, and a Kiddies Corner.

Competitions will be happening throughout the day too. Many world-famous riders will take to the showjumping rings to compete, while cattle, sheep, horses, and goats go up against each other for a prize.

The Show is often the first time many kids will compete in public.

The aim of the first show in 1917 was to provide local producers with a platform to display their stock and homegrown produce with an emphasis on education.

Now exhibitors from all over Ireland will be displaying flowers and foods, as well as different breeds of animals such as ponies, sheep, and cattle.
