Gun Show Schedule

Freedom Promotions, LLC operates the region's largest gun show network, hosting regular events in Maine and New Hampshire. These aren't small-time operations—they're full-scale vendor markets with 45 to 160 tables depending on the venue.

Each show features firearms dealers, ammunition vendors, tactical gear, collectibles, and specialty items. The Houlton show includes a notable WWII Traveling Museum exhibit with period vehicles, weapons, and memorabilia.

The Topsham show benefits Gun Owners of Maine, the state's premier Second Amendment advocacy organization.

Table Fees: - Maine shows: $65 per table - Rochester, NH: $75 per table - Late registrations (within 2 weeks of show): Add $10 per table

Vendors must pre-pay for all table reservations. Setup occurs Friday 2pm-6pm and Saturday 6am-9am, with tables required to be ready by 8:45am Saturday.

Freedom Promotions emphasizes responsible gun show culture:

"There is no gun-show loophole."

For attendees: - Always ask permission before handling a firearm - No dry firing without dealer permission and serious purchase intent - Don't block aisles—keep walkways clear for other shoppers - Don't loiter in front of tables you're not buying from - Never point a gun at anything you aren't prepared to destroy - Stun guns: No repeated "demo" sparking - Pepper spray: Absolutely no spraying in the venue (enclosed environment hazard) - Under 18? Get permission from both parent and dealer before touching firearms

For vendors: - Stay at your table and sell from that space - Respect other vendors and customers - No nails, staples, or thumb-tacks without prior approval - Leave space completely clean (no trash, zip ties, price tags, food/drink)

Freedom Promotions notes that dealers must watch for signs of straw purchases per federal law and may refuse sales if suspicious activity is suspected—customers should not take this out on the dealer.
