What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Roskilde Dyrskue's scale is what distinguishes it among Danish agricultural fairs: more than two thousand animals across cattle, horses, rabbits and cats compete in judged classes, while an extensive outdoor machinery exhibition draws manufacturers using the event as a major commercial showcase for new farm equipment

02

The mystery stays covered

A tractor-pulling competition adds a spectator-driven event distinct from the static judging categories, and horse shows staged through the program bring a performance element to what is otherwise a working trade fair

03

The city starts moving

Running since 1969, the fair now draws around one hundred thirteen thousand visitors, a mix of farming communities and urban day-trippers from Roskilde and greater Zealand
