The Springfield Sportsmen's Show is undisputedly the largest “pure” sportsmen’s show in the Northeast! This mega sporting event takes place at the Eastern States Exposition, home of the “BIG E,” West Springfield, Massachusetts. The show includes the best of hunting, fishing, boating and adventure recreation that the outdoor world has to offer all bundled together in one great event.

 

2012 marks the 29th season of the Springfield Sportsmen's Show.  We are actively working on this year’s show which will take place at the Eastern States Exposition, Home of the Big E on February 23rd - 26th, 2012.  Much more than the typical sportsmen’s show, OSEG prides itself on innovation. We were the first to put a full sized Water Dog Retrieving Pool in a show, we helped the Northeast Big Buck Club launch their highly successful measuring organization, and we were the first backers of now ‘world famous’ whitetail expert Dick Scorzafava.  Our enthusiasm for innovation and dedication to bringing sportsmen and women the very best the sporting industry has to offer is what keeps the Springfield Sportsmen’s Show ahead of the pack.

Exhibitors,  please get your Exhibitor Package.  You’ll find everything you will need to participate in the show including the 2012 show contract.  Reserve your space today!

Sportspeople from all over the Northeast love the Springfield Sportsmen's Show, because it is loaded with great show features, educational hunting and fishing seminars, a casting pool, a retrieving pool, a giant aquarium and so much more!

Just look at all the great things we have lined up for this year’s show:
