Find NECOA Inside Grand Place
After meeting thousands of fairgoers during last year’s event, NECOA is returning with a new indoor location.
Last year, our activation was outside along Nimitz Drive behind the Cotton Bowl. Visitors stopped by to explore our smart water purifiers, see our filtration technology in action, and learn how purified water can fit into everyday Texas life.
You can revisit those highlights in our 2025 State Fair of Texas recap.
For 2026, you can find us inside Grand Place, near the food court and Big Tex. The 50,000-square-foot exhibition hall provides a comfortable place to take a break between food, rides, exhibits, and everything else happening around Fair Park.
In Texas, “meet me near Big Tex” is practically a GPS coordinate.
Experience NECOA in Person
At the NECOA activation, visitors can see our smart water purifiers up close and learn about:
- 3-filter, 5-stage reverse osmosis purification
- Filtration of more than 80 contaminants
- Adjustable water temperatures
- Precise dispensing options
- Smart app features
- Automatic filter delivery and ongoing service
Whether you already have a NECOA purifier or are experiencing the brand for the first time, our team will be available to answer questions and demonstrate how the system works.
A Texas Tradition by the Numbers
The State Fair of Texas has brought Texans together since 1886. This year marks its 140th anniversary.
The Fair welcomed more than 2.02 million visitors in 2025 and returns in 2026 with:
- 24 consecutive days of activities
