2026 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits—Houston, TX, April 16-19
Hot on the heels of the Great American Outdoor Show in February, the largest of its kind in the world, the next big annual NRA event is shaping up. So if you are in the greater Houston area, and even if you aren’t, start making plans now.
The 2026 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits will descend on the George R. Brown Convention Center on April 16-19, 2026, in Houston, Texas. This will be the NRA’s flagship event for the year, so you won’t want to miss it.
The Exhibit Hall will be open for three full days and will showcase more than 14 acres of the latest guns and gear, with thousands of firearms on display from the biggest names in the industry. It’s the one place outside of SHOT—and one where the public will have unfettered access—where you can see all the major firearms and accessory manufacturers assembled under one roof.
Additionally, NRA says this will be the largest gathering of NRA members and 2A supporters in the country. Explore the latest guns and gear from top brands, book the hunt of a lifetime, enjoy free expert-led seminars on a variety of topics, and rub shoulders with titans of industry and other like-minded 2A enthusiasts.
Plus, experience unforgettable events like the Annual Meeting of Members, Friends of NRA Banquet, Saturday Night Celebration, Youth Day, and more. There’s also the ever-popular Wall Of Guns in the convention center’s main hall, where you can take a selfie with your dream gun and register to possibly take it home with you. (You’ll want to arrive early on the 16th to secure a spot on the Wall before it fills up.)
And don’t miss the Big Beautiful Gun Giveaway on Saturday and Sunday (April 18 & 19), which is completely free to enter. Simply swing by NRA Booth #2601 to join in the excitement (must be present to win).
Two concerts will also be taking place, starting with Aaron Lewis and The Stateliners the night before the main show, April 16, and wrapping up with Tyler Farr on the event’s penultimate evening, April 18.
If you aren’t an NRA member or need to renew your membership, you can manage all that while registering for the show.
