Mark Stoddart is at the helm of the show for the first time this year after previous secretary Chris Riddle stepped down as secretary after 35 years.
Organisers said there would be about 1,000 trade stands, as well as competitors showing cattle, sheep, horses, and other animals for ribbons and trophies.
The event opens at 08:30 BST and shuts at 18:30 each day, with tickets bought online, on the gate or at the show office.
One adult day ticket for the show costs £25, while a day ticket for a child aged between five and 15 is £6.
The showground is located about 1.5 miles west (2.4km) of Wadebridge on the A39.
Signage and traffic stewards will be in the area directing drivers to the site, organisers said.
Cornwall Council said there would be a host of exhibitors at the Local Nature Partnership's hub, with visitors able to watch a live demonstration of Cornish hedge building hosted by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Nature Partnership.
"Cornish hedges are iconic landmarks and serve multiple purposes including marking field boundaries, providing shelter from wind, supporting a diverse range of wildlife and promoting healthy soils," the local authority said.
The hedge demonstration will form the first section of a new, permanent Cornish hedge at the showground, said the council.

Rescuers search for missing flash flood victims in remote Kashmir village
CHOSITI, India (AP) — Rescuers searched for missing people in a remote village in India-controlled Kashmir on Friday after flash floods caused by torrential rains a day earlier left at least 60 people dead, officials said. Teams of disaster management officials, police and soldiers helped by local villagers scoured the devastated Himalayan village of Chositi on Friday. Officials halted rescue operations overnight but rescued at least 300 people Thursday after a powerful cloudburst triggered floods and landslides. Officials said many missing people were believed to have been washed away. More rescue teams were headed to the area to strengthen relief operations. At least 50 seriously injured people were treated in local hospitals, many of them rescued from a stream filled with mud and debris. Disaster management official Mohammed Irshad said the number of missing people could increase. Weather officials forecast more heavy rains and floods in the area. Chositi is a remote Himalayan village in Kashmir's Kishtwar district and the last village accessible to motor vehicles on the route of an ongoing annual Hindu pilgrimage to a mountainous shrine at an altitude of 3,000 meters (9,500 feet) and about an 8-kilometer (5-mile) trek from the village. Officials said the pilgrimage, which began July 25 and was scheduled to end on Sept. 5, was suspended. The devastating floods swept away the main community kitchen set up for the pilgrims, as well as dozens of vehicles and motorbikes. More than 200 pilgrims were in the kitchen at the time of the flood, which also damaged or washed away many of the homes clustered together in the foothills, officials said. Photos and videos on social media show extensive damage with household goods strewn next to damaged vehicles and homes in the village. Authorities made makeshift bridges Friday to help stranded pilgrims cross a muddy water channel. Sudden, intense downpours over small areas known as cloudbursts are increasingly common in India's Himalayan regions, which are prone to flash floods and landslides. Cloudbursts have the potential to wreak havoc by causing intense flooding and landslides, impacting thousands of people in the mountainous regions. Experts say cloudbursts have increased in recent years partly because of climate change, while damage from the storms also has increased because of unplanned development in mountain regions. Kishtwar district is home to multiple hydroelectric power projects, which experts have long warned pose a threat to the region's fragile ecosystem.

Small aircraft plummets into Georgia neighborhood, leaves 3 injured
A late-night training flight ended in chaos when a small plane plummeted into the front yard of a suburban residence near Atlanta over the weekend. The incident in Brookhaven, Georgia, sent all three passengers onboard to the hospital shortly after midnight on Saturday, according to officials. Photos of the incident show the mangled wreckage lodged in a tree, with fragments dangling in branches and electrical cables. Power briefly went out in the neighborhood, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. However, no homes were damaged and no one on the ground was hurt, police told Fox News Digital on Sunday. "Officers quickly removed all three occupants from the aircraft and began providing first aid," Brookhaven police said. "There were no injuries to anyone on the ground." The conditions of the three passengers have not been released. Police told FOX 5 that they were conscious, alert and breathing when they were transported to a local trauma center. Officials said the plane, registered to a local flight school, departed from Peachtree-DeKalb Airport late Friday. It flew 70 miles and returned to perform several "touch-and-go" landings, a standard practice for flight training, the local station reported. The plane, however, struck several trees and electrical wiring before crashing onto a road, the National Transportation Safety Board told Fox News Digital on Sunday. DeKalb County Fire Department and the DeKalb American Medical Response team also responded to the scene, according to the police. The NTSB will be coordinating with the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct an investigation into the crash. The plane and all the debris were removed from the yard by early Saturday afternoon, police said.
