OCA Extravaganza 2023
The Ohio Cichlid Association would like to invite you to Extravaganza 2023! This will be the 29th consecutive year that the OCA has hosted this event, which has become the most popular and economical regional aquarist gathering in the U.S.
As always, the Extravaganza will be held the weekend before Thanksgiving, which this year will be November 17-19. The OCA Extravaganza will be held at the Best Western Plus Strongsville, which has been the Extravaganza’s home since the 1st one in 1995. You can reserve a room by calling the hotel’s sales department directly at 440-783-3010, M-F 8am-5pm. Tell them it’s for the OCA event. (You may have to leave a voice mail.) The room rate will remain an incredible $74/night for registered attendees.
We are currently assembling another diverse roster of speakers for your entertainment and edification. Watch here for more information about our guests and their presentations.
