Mission

The mission of the Dundalk Show is to serve as a vibrant showcase for locally produced goods, celebrating the full journey from farm to fork. By highlighting the skill, care, and dedication of local farmers, producers, and artisans, the Show promotes best agricultural practices and a strong commitment to quality, sustainability, and excellence in production.

At its heart, the Dundalk Show is about community. It brings together people of all ages to celebrate rural life, share knowledge, and preserve traditions that have been passed down through generations. From livestock and home industries to crafts, food, and family-focused activities, the Show honours heritage while embracing modern skills, innovation, and progress within Irish agriculture.

Showcasing Excellence and Dedication

The Dundalk Show provides a respected and well-established platform for exhibitors to showcase the quality, care, and breeding of their livestock across cattle, sheep, horses and ponies, and poultry classes. These competitions reflect the dedication, hard work, and pride of exhibitors who strive for the highest standards in breeding, husbandry, and presentation.

Competitors are invited to take part in well-run, professionally judged competitions that recognise excellence, animal welfare, and attention to detail. The Show welcomes both experienced exhibitors and those entering for the first time, fostering a supportive, inclusive, and encouraging environment where knowledge and experience are shared.

Taking part in the Dundalk Show is more than competition alone; it is an opportunity to connect with fellow exhibitors, celebrate achievement, and proudly represent the strength and resilience of Irish agriculture. Set against the picturesque backdrop of County Louth, the Dundalk Show continues to educate, inspire, and strengthen community pride, ensuring that agricultural traditions remain vibrant and relevant for generations to come.
