The Nairobi Show is on next door at Jamhuri Park until Sunday. Dates, gate charges and what to see.
The Nairobi International Trade Fair opened at Jamhuri Park on Monday, 28 September, and runs until Sunday, 4 October. The showground sits on Kibra's doorstep, between Ngong Road and Kibera.
The basics
Dates: Monday 28 September to Sunday 4 October.
Gate charges: adults Sh350, children Sh300. Groups of ten or more pay Sh300 per adult and Sh250 per child, K24 reports.
Theme: "Promoting Climate Smart Agriculture and Trade Initiatives for Sustainable Economic Growth".
Organiser: the Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK). The Star reported more than 500 exhibitors were expected.
What is on
Livestock and crop displays, greenhouse farming, farm machinery, and stands from banks, insurers, manufacturers and textile firms. There are hands-on workshops and demonstrations of climate-smart farming. K24 lists exhibitors from China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Germany, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and the United States.
Security and the rains
Before the show, Nairobi Deputy County Commissioner for Kibra Victor Kamonde said security teams were "ready for the show". ASK chairman Levi Mukhweso said the society was "about 99 per cent prepared". The Star reported that drains and water channels at the showground had been inspected and cleared ahead of the El Niño rains.
What it means for you
Expect heavier traffic on Ngong Road and on the Woodley side of the park all week, especially in the afternoons and at the weekend.
The reports KNN reviewed do not give the show's opening hours, or say which day the official opening is. Check with ASK before making a long trip.
Taking the children? Carry water and a hat; the park has long walks between the stands.
