The Hillsborough Show Relocates to Santa Clara Convention Center for 2026

The Hillsborough Show, previously known as The Hillsborough Antiques + Art + Design Show, is set to debut at a new venue for its 2026 iteration. The esteemed West Coast event will now be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, from November 6th to 8th, 2026.

New Venue, Familiar Format

This transition marks a significant move for the 58-year-old show, which was acquired last year by KIL Promotions, the organizers behind the NYC Jewelry, Antique, & Object show (NYCJAOS). KIL Promotions plans to leverage its successful formula for the West Coast event, aiming to attract a younger demographic of enthusiastic buyers while retaining its appeal to seasoned collectors and enthusiasts.

The Santa Clara Convention Center is expected to provide a comfortable and relaxed shopping environment. The show is described as a contemporary treasure hunt, celebrating authenticity and enduring value. Last year’s event featured over 50 premier exhibitors, showcasing a diverse array of items including fine art from the 17th to 20th centuries, estate and contemporary jewelry, antique furniture, decorative arts, and rare collectibles.

Event Details and Highlights

The Hillsborough Show will host approximately 50 exhibitors, including art galleries, luxury object makers, antiques dealers, and vintage jewelry and watch sellers. Notable participating exhibitors mentioned include Hana Kaneko Jewelry, Halle's Jewels, Alpha and Omega Jewelry, and Samuel Phillip & Co.

Show hours are scheduled as follows:

• Friday, November 6th, 2026: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Saturday, November 7th, 2026: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Sunday, November 8th, 2026: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

General admission is free and open to the public. Tickets are available for purchase online only, with no tickets sold at the door. Attendees can register via Eventbrite.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

A significant aspect of The Hillsborough Show is its commitment to supporting United Veterans Services, a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for hospitalized veterans across America. A portion of all exhibitor booth fees and ticket sales will be donated to this cause.

Konstantinos I. Leoussis, founder of KIL Promotions, expressed his enthusiasm for the move: “We are looking forward to bringing our successful NYCJAOS formula to the West Coast in a brand new venue for the 2026 edition of The Hillsborough Show. The beloved Bay Area event will continue to be a unique experience for vintage enthusiasts. The Santa Clara Convention Center is helping us create a relaxed shopping environment for our visitors and our dealers.”

Exhibitor booths are still available for the upcoming show.
