A.S.K Central Kenya National Show was started in 1968 at Ruringu Stadium but was later moved to Kabiruini Showground in 1997. It is located along the Nyeri – Nyahururu road approximately 6 kms from Nyeri town next to Dedan Kimathi University of Technology and just 2 kms to the newly developed Nyaribo Air strip.
Due to its central location, the show was elevated to a National status in 2004 to cater for Nyeri, Nyandarua, Kirinyaga, Murang’a and Kiambu counties.
