2025 ZNA Koi Show: San Jose (Japan Tradition of Koi Dates Back to Ancient Times, Considered Symbols of Good Luck Today)NEW

The ZNA NorCal Koi club is please to present our 2025 show! We will be at the same lovely outdoor hotel location as in prior year, 399 Silicon Valley, San Jose, California, but the hotel has changed hands and is now Hacienda San Jose Silicon Valley.

The ZNA NorCal Koi Show has always been all about education, with an opportunity, whether members of a club or not, to participate and enter their beautiful Nishikigoi into our show. This is a great way to learn koi appreciation, receive valuable feedback on your koi and share wonderful camaraderie with friends old and new.

The NorCal club members are all koi kochi who love koi and promote the hobby, share the joy of koi keeping Nishikigoi. Regardless of what size pond we have or what quality koi we keep, we are all bonded together as “koi kochi”.

We are looking forward to wonderful participation from both exhibitors and vendors, and we welcome the friendly competition from members of other clubs both within California and across the country. We will have Calligraphy Master Vo and his team doing calligraphy to raise funds for ZNA NorCal's charitable cause.

Join us to experience our koi show and to renew old friendship and make new friends.
