ZooExpo brings dog and cat shows, demonstrations and pet-care exhibitors to Riga’s Ķīpsala International Exhibition Centre on 14 and 15 November 2026. The two halls give families a way to shape the visit around what interests them, from a few turns around the dog ring to a closer look at different cat breeds.

🐕 Choose a hall to start with
The dog show is in Hall 2. The organiser also lists obedience demonstrations, which give younger visitors a chance to see how dogs respond to their handlers. Look at the day’s programme before you settle on a demonstration. Allow time to watch a few entrants so you can see what changes from one round to the next.
Hall 1 hosts the cat show and the display of other pets. Pick a part of the hall your group is curious about and spend a little time there. The fair includes exhibitors offering pet supplies and care advice, so it also makes sense for visitors who want to compare products or ask a specific question. See the organiser’s event page for the range of exhibits.
🐾 Leave time between the two halls
For a family visit, choose one show as the main stop and keep the other hall flexible. If you arrive with your own dog, the organiser gives a separate entry route through Gate 11 at Hall 2 and lists the documents required. The official visitor guide covers those conditions, opening hours and how to get to Ķīpsala.
