We’ve gathered the top vendors of hunting and fishing equipment along with guides, outfitters, and charter captains.

That’s why the Springfield Sportsmen’s Show is the Northeast’s strongest fishing, hunting, and outdoor show.

We helped the Northeast Big Buck Club launch their highly successful measuring organization. We were the first backers of now ‘world famous’ whitetail expert Dick Scorzafava. It’s our enthusiasm for innovation combined with a dedication to bringing sportsmen and women the very best the sporting industry has to offer that keeps us ahead of the pack.
People from all over the Northeast love the Springfield Sportsmen's Show, because it is loaded with great show features including educational hunting seminars, fishing seminars, and fun exhibits like our big casting pool, the retrieving pool, and the giant fresh water fish aquarium! Join us during our 30th Anniversary, Here’s a look at the line up:
