DeVeau's Circle of Stars Gymnastics Invitational runs 29-31 January 2027 at the Indiana Convention Center. The venue forecasts 5,000 attendees and assigns Exhibit Hall I-K. The organiser's own site dates the event 29-31 January, calls it the 35th annual edition, and names DeVeau's Gymnastics Booster Club as the host. The organiser describes it as one of the largest volunteer-run invitationals in the country combining men's and women's artistic gymnastics.
Three days, Friday to Sunday, at a 5,000-person forecast. The published downtown room base is 7,100 rooms. The Friday opening sits on a day the venue's own feed gives three events.
The window and the nights it brackets
The venue's events feed dates the invitational 29-31 January 2027, and the organiser's site gives the same three days. The RxHealing Sales Convention carries 29-31 January on the same feed.
The organiser's hotel page links three group booking paths. The Crowne Plaza link carries group code C7Q under property code INDDT, and its check-in parameter is set to 28 January, the Thursday before the Friday opening. The venue and the organiser both date the event from Friday 29 January, and no organiser page publishes session times, so no source states which night a family needs first.
Registration runs in three steps through USA Gymnastics, a fee worksheet and an online payment. Gymnast fees are $155 at Levels 2 to 5 and Xcel Bronze through Gold, and $175 at Levels 6 to 10 and Platinum through Sapphire, with a $55 team fee. Scratches and refunds close 16 November 2026, 74 days before the Friday. Level changes close 14 December 2026, 46 days before. Payment is due in full at registration, and unpaid spots are released to the waitlist.
The Friday and the Sunday
Friday 29 January is a three-event day on the venue's feed. Dot Foods closes its national business meeting at 2,000, Circle of Stars opens at 5,000, and the RxHealing Sales Convention opens at 2,000. That is 9,000 forecast attendees against the published base of 7,100 downtown rooms.
Sunday 31 January carries the departures. Circle of Stars closes at 5,000, RxHealing closes at 2,000, and The Indianapolis Royal Weekend runs 1,250, for 8,250 on the venue's forecasts against the same base.
Rate integrity across 7,100 rooms
The venue's footer publishes 7,100 downtown hotel rooms with 4,700 connected by skywalk. The venue's own Facility Guide gives 4,717 of 7,200 total rooms connected. The venue's attendee hotels page adds that more than half of downtown's 7,100-plus rooms sit within blocks of the hall.
Visit Indy's connected-hotel roster counts 12 hotels and 5,200 rooms connected into the convention center, and more than 10,000 rooms within walking distance once the downtown pipeline lands. Among the properties the roster names by room count are the JW Marriott Indianapolis at 1,005 rooms, the Signia Indianapolis at 803, Indy Marriott at 650, The Westin at 575, the Hyatt Regency at 499, Embassy Suites at 360, Crowne Plaza at 273, the Conrad at 247, and the Courtyard, SpringHill Suites and Fairfield Inn at 621 combined.
The organiser lists three hotels: Hyatt Place at 130 S. Pennsylvania Street, Embassy Suites at 110 West Washington Street, and the Crowne Plaza at 123 West Louisiana St. Each carries a group path. The Hyatt link carries group code G-CC27, the Hilton link opens an attend-my-event page for Embassy Suites, and the Crowne Plaza link carries group code C7Q. The rates sit behind those flows. The Hyatt group page refused a scripted fetch with HTTP 403, and the Hilton page renders a waiting shell.
Engine's city read puts the Indianapolis average at $128 a night across 1.2 million public rate observations from May 2024 to April 2026. Its month table gives January at $114, 11 percent below the city average, and February at $107, 16 percent below. Read 24 September 2026, the city ranks 39 of 50 major U.S. markets by average rate.
The desk on a family weekend
The event publishes no session times, so the arrival spread across Friday is unpublished. Two clocks are published. The venue's skywalk page gives a rule of thumb of lock down at about 11:00 p.m. and re-opening at about 6:00 a.m., and the organiser's last deadline falls 46 days before the Friday.
The hall set is 163,700 square feet on Visit Indy's room-capacities table, from Hall I at 88,600, Hall J at 36,400 and Hall K at 38,700. The same table gives Hall I a theatre capacity of 7,604 and a banquet capacity of 5,800 against the 5,000 forecast. The venue's Facility Guide requires medical personnel at 2,000 or more attendees, a line the 5,000 forecast sits above.
CBRE Hotels Research puts labour at 59.4 percent of food and beverage department expenses, with labour expenses up 2.1 percent in the read it published in October 2025. Food and beverage at this venue runs through Sodexo Live!, which holds exclusive distribution rights within the complex.
Two figures carry the weekend. The forecast is 5,000 and the published base is 7,100 downtown rooms. The event runs Friday to Sunday, so the two published nights sit on the Friday and the Saturday, with a 28 January check-in on the organiser's Crowne Plaza link and no session time published to confirm the arrival night. The desk's working documents are the organiser's three hotel links and the fee deadlines.
