Venue & racecourse

Venue: CremonaFiere

Address: Piazza Zelioli Lanzini 1, 26100 Cremona, Italy

The event takes place across the CremonaFiere exhibition complex, which provides approximately 50,000 square metres of covered exhibition space, extensive outdoor areas and multiple exhibition pavilions.

The livestock-show area includes a dedicated ring where dairy cattle competitions and presentations take place. The ring is one of the central features of the International Dairy Show and provides the setting for breed evaluations and the final Supreme Champion presentation.

Full event programme

The detailed 2026 event calendar is still being prepared by the organiser. The official programme page states that the 2026 conference programme will include both established activities and new initiatives, with the full schedule to be published progressively.

The confirmed structure includes:

• Technical and scientific conferences
• Specialist seminars and workshops
• Livestock competitions
• Dairy Show activities
• Professional training
• Young-generation programmes
• Industry presentations
• Agricultural and livestock technology demonstrations
• International networking and business activities

The organiser has announced more than 50 technical events across the three-day programme, combining conferences and workshops.

Races, competitions & shows

The principal competitive attraction is the International Dairy Show, featuring selections for several important dairy breeds.

Holstein: Competition for high-quality Holstein dairy cattle from Italian and international farms.

Red Holstein: Breed competition featuring Red Holstein cattle.

Bruna: Competition for Brown Swiss cattle.

Jersey: Competition for Jersey dairy cattle.

Supreme Champion: The three-day programme will conclude with the presentation of the Supreme Champion, recognising the leading dairy cow of the edition.

The livestock programme is supported by the exhibition’s broader educational and technical activities, creating a combination of competition, breeding, genetics, technology and professional exchange.

Horses, riders & competitors

Fiere Zootecniche Internazionali is primarily a cattle and livestock exhibition rather than an equestrian competition. The principal animal competitions focus on dairy cattle, particularly Holstein, Red Holstein, Brown Swiss and Jersey.

The 2026 breed competitions are expected to involve farms from Italy and abroad, with breeders presenting selected animals for evaluation. The organiser has confirmed that registrations for the livestock shows are open and that the competitions will form a central part of the three-day event.

Visitors interested in equestrian events should note that horses and riders are not the main focus of this exhibition.
