About RMEF Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo

A large-scale hunting and outdoor industry event held during the holiday shopping season, featuring hundreds of exhibitors and a strong B2B presence.

RMEF Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo 2026

RMEF Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo 2026 runs 3–12 December 2026 at Las Vegas Convention Center, South Halls, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What it is

The Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo is run by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), the conservation organisation dedicated to elk, other wildlife, their habitat and hunting heritage. It is a ten-day holiday shopping show timed to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR), and it partners with Cowboy Christmas. The expo occupies the upper level of the South Halls, and the show is open to the public.

The organiser lists daily hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm for every day of the run, Thursday 3 December through Saturday 12 December.

RMEF describes more than 200 exhibitors for 2026, and the 2026 exhibit space is sold out. The floor covers:

Alongside the booths are the Ariat Rodeo Live Stage and attendee lounges. A 2026 floorplan is published on the organiser's page.

Conserving Country Day Show

Each day at 11:00 am the Ariat Rodeo Live Stage hosts the Conserving Country Day Show, presented by Morton Buildings: a sit-down with country music artists who share stories and perform live, hosted by Shane Minor and Garrison Allen. The 2026 line-up runs one artist per day, from Flint Rasmussen on 3 December to The Reeves Brothers on 12 December.
