Koi Fest 2025 is made possible thanks to a strong network of sponsors who continue to shape and support the pond and koi community in incredible ways. At the top, Atlantic Oase holds the Platinum Sponsor spot, known for setting industry standards in water feature equipment and design. Our Gold Sponsors bring tremendous depth, including UNITY Bank, Microbe Lift, Evolution Aqua USA, Profi Drum USA, and Koi Trips USA—each one a respected leader in financial services, water quality care, advanced filtration, and global koi education.
Our Silver Sponsors feature a dynamic mix of innovators and specialists: Pond Potions / Pond Magic, Performance Pro, Hikari (to ZNA), and now Maple Leaf Bonsai, whose inclusion highlights the artistry and precision that bonsai culture shares with koi keeping. On the Bronze level, we’re proud to be backed by Dot Fitzsimmons, Easy Pro, Aqua Meds, POND Trade, Elevate, and Twisted Ink—all offering trusted resources from pond liners and health solutions to design and media. And our lineup of Purple vendors brings an added layer of energy and creativity to the event: Pond Pros (FFP Fish Health), Mid Atlantic Koi Club, Sophie Printmaking, Aquariums & Aquascaping, and Shintaro Koi Farm each contribute something unique, helping make Koi Fest more than just a gathering—it’s a celebration of pond life in all its forms.
