Message from the board.

Dear koi enthusiast,

New date: 11 and 12 September 2021

On 19 September, the car-free Sunday will take place in Merelbeke and in Flanders.
Therefore, the town council of Merelbeke thinks it is better to organise the Koi Show one weekend earlier. To guarantee a better accessibility for the visitors and exhibitors to the Show.

The Belgian Koi Society would like to apologize for this change. This decision was not in our hands.
It also goes without saying that we can only organize the Show if corona allows it. This means, a show without restrictions. Looking eight months ahead is impossible.
We will communicate about this in due time.

On behalf of the entire board,
Yours sincerely,

The ZNA Belgian Koi Show

The ZNA Belgian Koi Show, garden and pond days at Sept 11 and 12 2021 is an initiative of Belgian Koi Society vzw, an organization from and for Koi and pond lovers.

In addition to the competitive element, the Koi show is also about bringing together the Kooi enthusiast and hobbyists of all kinds of allooi. It is a place to meet each other in common interests, and a place to gain a lot of knowledge and information about the pond and garden events. This is due to the presence of exhibitors who bring a lot of knowledge, expertise and material, ready to release to the general public, ranging from filter material, test kits, Koi food, etc. Bring the possibility to buy bonsai, plants and art for the garden, and everything is available to create a perfectly rotating pond, which also looks very beautiful too!

“I have been visiting the Belgian Koishow (s) every year since 1998 and I must say, especially in the last ten years there has been a significant increase in the quality of the fish in the competition. The range of sales stands is also very varied. In short, the Belgium Koi Society Koi Show is more than worth a visit!”

Toën Feyen (Nl)ZNA Certified Judge

“Top show, pleasant atmosphere with top competition kois !!! A must for every koi enthusiast in Belgium!”

Chris van Cleemput (B)Visitor

“A nice experience to help with the construction and also the show itself, where you get to know a whole lot of new and fun people with whom you can share your koi and pond experiences. Since you have never learned about koi! You will also see beautiful fish swimming in the barrels that are certainly worth a closer look! Certainly the fish that you would otherwise hardly see or not see are definitely worth it! I am also happy to help with this show!”

Jurgen Briers (B)Volunteer and Visitor

“I’ve been the first time at Belgian Koi Show about 3 years ago.
I knew that koi hobby was popular in the middle of Europe but I didn’t know how to expect, in particular from a little country like Belgium.
When I arrived to Hasselt and I saw the location, my expression has been like…WOW! The green park and the japanese garden in the vicinity are a perfect context for a koi show, and also the stands and vats arrangment are really well located. The level of koi for the contest is the highest that I’ve seen in Europe and as well the organization of the event. Good food, drink and friendship make the rest.
If I have to decide one koi show to visit in Europe, I have no doubts…BELGIAN KOI SHOW!”
