For the real Koi lover it is not a surprise, as they already know about this event for ages. But it is always nice to know what you can expect with the next edition. Just continue reading on and you will find out.
The preparations of the show are currently going on (see: https://www.facebook.com/hollandkoishowarcen). On 16, 17 and 18 August the 21st edition of the Holland Koi Show will be held at the Castle gardens in the small town of Arcen. The show seems to be bigger than ever and next to the Koi show there will be an aquarium, betta, bonsai and shrimp show.
