Koi Competition with international Jury
This fair takes place in Kapermolenpark Hasselt ( Work in the park ! See Contact ) where the most beautiful Koi are shown and go home with different prices, even Koi that cannot be seen anywhere else, except on this show ! The winners are determined by an international jury , after an assessment of their beauty in all aspects such as skin quality, physique and color patterns .
The Belgian Koi Show has also been known for years for the extremely high quality of the exhibited Koi. The most beautiful examples of Belgium, the Netherlands and France can be seen at the show.
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!
Not to mention that this whole event takes place in an Asian atmosphere, due to the fact that the show is located near the Japanese Garden of Hasselt, and this is the largest Japanese Garden in all of Europe.
We hope to see you at the next Belgian Koi Show, on June 22 and 23 2019. See you then!

Donation to the Japanese garden & Presence of Ying Ying
In Japan something happens that is only possible in Japan … a fish – yes, a fish !! – is sold at an auction for an astronomical amount.
What do you think of then? 5000 euros? Or maybe 50,000 euros? That is already a lot. Let’s go crazy, maybe 500,000 euros ! That is already closer .. just add another million .. Yes, for a fish! A Koi, that is, beautiful, unique, fish that can be found in (almost) all colors of the rainbow. Because this fish … that is a champion! And this champion has the ability to produce many champions.
The buyer of this fish? A Taiwanese trader, known in the Koi world, named: Ying Ying.
Ying Ying zal aanwezig zijn op onze show, met een stand en vissen. Neen, niet met de vis van € 1.550.000. Wel zal ze vissen doneren aan de Japanse Tuin Hasselt. Dit met de nodige media aandacht en vergezeld van burgemeester en schepenen, en de ambassadeur van Taiwan.
