Behind the Scenes – Setup Day on Friday, May 30
Before the show officially begins, an incredible transformation takes place on Friday, May 30 as exhibitors and volunteers set up the event. Koi display tanks will be assembled, creating a temporary home for some of the most stunning koi in the region. Soon after, koi entries will begin arriving-some transported from ponds hundreds of miles away in carefully packed bags and boxes.
For many, watching the setup is as fascinating as the show itself. Each koi must go through a meticulous process of measurement and classification before the official judging on Saturday. This ensures fair competition and proper category placement. Some of these koi are world-class show-quality fish, valued at thousands of dollars, making this a rare opportunity to see them up close.
