Aquaporium Move Announcement

Welcome to the Kerr Scott Building

Aquaporium is officially heading to the NC State Fiarground in September 2027!  By moving the show to the historic Gov. Kerr Scott Building, we are packing a dedicated, fully climate-controlled space with your favorite coral reef vendors, live fish displays, plant specialists, reptile vendors and artisans.

While the building itself is smaller than a massive city convention center, this layout allows us to build a highly focused, closely packed marketplace atmosphere where hobbyists can connect directly with expert educators and small businesses while keeping a lot of the decorating to outside the building.

               
• 19,500+ Sq. Ft. Indoor Footprint – Plenty of floor space tailored perfectly for local vendors.
               
• Complete Climate Control – Fully air-conditioned interior comfort.
               
• Zero-Cost Parking – Park directly outside the building steps without downtown parking garage fees.
               
• Seamless Single-Floor Flow – No multi-level escalators; easily move your heavy livestock and gear buckets even on the morning of the show.
