The position
The Indianapolis Home Show runs Friday 15 January to Sunday 24 January 2027 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center, 1202 East 38th Street. The organiser, Marketplace Events, books Expo Hall and the West Pavilion for the run. Its doors grid carries ten consecutive dates and no dark day.
That grid is the demand evidence a hotelier can price against this January. The organiser publishes no attendance figure for the 2027 edition. It publishes no room block, no room rate and no cut-off date. It names two area hotels and one campground.
The position is that a ten-day run with a weekend-weighted floor supports a night-count read of this show, and that the organiser's pages carry no figure for the overnight count itself.
Ten doors-up mornings at 10 a.m.
Every one of the ten days opens at 10 a.m. The run commits ten consecutive mornings to one campus. A rota can plan a single start time across the window.
Two weekend pairs and a Monday-to-Thursday block
Three closing clocks sit behind the single start. Friday and Saturday close at 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday close at 7 p.m. Sunday closes at 5 p.m.
Two Friday and Saturday pairs carry the longest days. 15 and 16 January form the first pair. 22 and 23 January form the second. A four-day Monday-to-Thursday block sits between them, 18 to 21 January. The two Sundays, 17 and 24 January, sit seven days apart.
Each Sunday carries the 5 p.m. finish. A guest who drives in for a Saturday and stays through the Sunday floor has a departure window that opens at 5 p.m.
Ninety floor hours across ten days
The three clocks produce 90 floor hours. The four Friday and Saturday dates carry 40 hours, or 44.4 percent of the run. The Monday-to-Thursday block carries 36 hours, or 40 percent. The two Sundays carry 14 hours, or 15.6 percent. The average show day runs nine hours.
Those figures come off the organiser's dated grid.
The campus charge per car
The organiser publishes parking at $10.00 per day, per car, on the Fairgrounds. The venue publishes the same sum as a $10 facility charge per vehicle for events at the Fairgrounds & Event Center, with cash and credit cards accepted.
A party of four arriving in one car pays $10.00 to park and $60.00 at the door on the adult rate of $15.00. Online admission at $13.00 takes four adult tickets to $52.00. The organiser's admission table lists children aged 12 and under at no charge. The venue's own Home Show page lists children aged 5 and under at no charge.
One accommodation price on the site
The show's Accommodations block publishes a single rate. The RV Campgrounds at the State Fairgrounds runs at $40 plus tax per day with hook-up, booked through the camping line 317-927-7500. The venue's camping page carries the season rule that governs a January stay. Full hook-up runs April through October, and November through March is electric-only with the dump station closed in that window.
A January camper at this show books an electrical site. That $40 rate is the only accommodation price the organiser prints on its site.
Two named properties
The housing block names two hotels. Hampton Inn NE Castleton Indianapolis sits at 6817 East 82nd Street, 46250. Candlewood Suites Indianapolis NE sits at 8111 Bash Street, 46250. Each listing carries a website link. Neither carries a rate, a cut-off date or a room count.
A third line names Lazy Sunday Rentals, a local vacation rental company, at 10 percent off a direct booking under the code LAZYINDYHOMESHOW. The organiser prints the discount and no inventory figure for it.
What the position rests on
The ten-day floor is printed. The three closing clocks are printed. The $10.00 per car is printed. The $40 plus tax camping rate is printed. The overnight count stays unpublished.
A hotelier reading this show has a ten-night window, a weekend-weighted floor and one accommodation rate to work from. Neither named property carries a published rate or a published cut-off date, so a January rate for this show is struck direct with the property.
The published demand evidence is the ten-day grid, the 90 floor hours and the $10.00 the campus charges each car each day.
