Internationale Hondententoonstelling Maastricht and MECC Maastricht Extend Partnership Through 2030

Stichting Hondententoonstelling Maastricht and MECC Maastricht have signed a new multi-year contract that extends their cooperation by five years, keeping the Internationale Hondententoonstelling Maastricht at MECC Maastricht at least through 2030. The venue says it thereby remains the home base of one of the largest dog events in the Netherlands and the Euregio, and describes the foundation as its oldest client. The next edition is scheduled for 26 and 27 September 2026, when MECC Maastricht again expects thousands of dogs, their owners and visitors from across Europe. Judging will be carried out by 31 judges from 12 countries on 17,000 square metres of exhibition floor, alongside demonstrations, competitions, activities for children and a broad offering of exhibitors.
