Hillsborough Show Moves to New Location for 2026
The public shopping event featuring art, jewelry, watches, and rare collectibles, will take place in Santa Clara, California, this fall.

The luxury and antique goods show, held last year in San Mateo, California, will take place at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California, this fall from Nov. 6-8.
There will be approximately 50 exhibitors comprising art galleries, luxury object makers, and antiques dealers, as well as vintage jewelry and watch sellers.
Show hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
The shopping event is free and open to the public. Those interested in attending can register via Eventbrite.
A portion of exhibitor booth fees will be donated to the United Veterans Services.
The 58-year-old show changed hands last year and is now managed by KIL Promotions, the company behind the NYC Jewelry, Antique, & Object show (NYCJAOS).
“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,” said Konstantinos I. Leoussis, founder of KIL Promotions.
“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. The show is effectively a contemporary ‘treasure hunt’ for those who appreciate authenticity and enduring value. And it supports a terrific cause.”
Exhibitor booths are still available.
