ABOUT KOI FEST
Koi Fest began as an end-of-season blowout sale for Fitz’s Fish Ponds, but it quickly evolved into something much bigger—a one-of-a-kind event for the koi community. We saw an opportunity to create a festival that not only celebrates the beauty of Japanese koi but also brings together enthusiasts, hobbyists, and industry professionals for an unforgettable experience. Koi is a celebration of the passion and artistry behind koi keeping.
History of Koi Fest
The event offers a platform to showcase our farm operations, highlight incredible Japanese koi, and introduce new hobbyists to the world of koi shows and high-quality koi fish. It has also become a meeting place for pond builders, industry vendors, aquarium enthusiasts, and water feature professionals to connect, learn, and grow within the community.
Each year, we continue to expand Koi Fest, bringing in special guests, exclusive koi auctions, and an ever-growing selection of high-end koi for sale—ready for attendees to take home that same day. Whether you're a seasoned koi keeper or just starting your journey, Koi Fest is the ultimate event to immerse yourself in the world of koi and celebrate the hobby with fellow enthusiasts.
