The International Sportsmen's Expo is set to return to Denver from January 8-11, 2026, at the Colorado Convention Center, drawing attention from outdoor enthusiasts across the region. This anticipated event will gather more than 200 exhibitors showcasing the latest innovations and offerings in camping, off-roading, fishing, and hunting gear. Furthermore, it will serve as a platform for educational resources focusing on new techniques and practices for outdoor activities.
Attendees can look forward to an engaging experience featuring live raptors that can be viewed up close, alongside an impressive display of the newest RVs, camping equipment, and off-road vehicles. The expo is not only about showcasing products, but it also aims to educate visitors on what premier lodges around the state have to offer, along with new opportunities to explore Colorado’s abundant outdoor spaces.
Among the exhibitors, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) will play a prominent role, providing various informative exhibits. Key highlights will include a stocked fishing tank designed specifically for children to practice catch and release techniques, as well as a boating simulator with accompanying demonstrations on boating safety.
The event will also feature educational displays on invasive species and the importance of gear-cleaning stations to protect Colorado’s ecosystems. Additionally, aquariums displaying local cold and warm water fish will be featured, along with informative sessions on how hatchery technicians stock waters throughout the state.
CPW believes that the event is a vital aspect of its mission to inform the public about Colorado's outdoor offerings and the necessity of protecting these valuable resources. It is a chance for outdoor enthusiasts to learn more about the state’s hunting changes and CPW's updated Hunting Atlas, ensuring that attendees are well-informed about their recreational opportunities.
Moreover, there will be a booth dedicated to highlighting CPW's clay shooting park, which offers opportunities for trap, skeet, and sporting clay shooting—a perfect opportunity for shooting enthusiasts to try their skills and learn about competitive opportunities.
Tickets to the International Sportsmen's Expo are affordably priced at $18 per adult, with free entry for youth aged 15 and under, as well as active-duty military personnel with a valid military ID. In an effort to support veterans, limited passes will be made available for military veterans online on January 6.
As the International Sportsmen's Expo approaches, it not only showcases the best of outdoor products but also serves as a reminder of the community's commitment to conservation and education in recreational activities. This year's event promises to be a comprehensive gathering point for those who are passionate about the great outdoors in Colorado.
In conclusion, the International Sportsmen's Expo is an important event for all outdoor enthusiasts, providing them with the chance to connect with the latest products and engage in educational opportunities.
