The National Rifle Association of America is pleased to announce that the NRA Great American Outdoor Show will be held February 1 – 9, 2025, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The NRA Great American Outdoor Show is a nine-day event that celebrates hunting, fishing and the outdoor traditions treasured by millions of Americans.

The show features more than 1,000 exhibitors covering 650,000 square feet of exhibit hall space where attendees can explore the latest guns and gear from firearm manufacturers, book the hunt of a lifetime in the Outfitters Hall, check out the latest fishing boats and RVs, reserve an unforgettable fishing carter, and so much more. The NRA Great American Outdoor Show will also feature more than 200 seminars from leading outdoors experts like Melissa Bachman, Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo, and Seek One covering hunting, trapping, self-defense tactics and strategies, cooking with wild game, and fishing tips.

Outside of the exhibit hall, attendees can compete in the 3D Bowhunter Challenge, take in the Pennsylvania Lumberjack Championships, and watch athletic canines compete in various distance and speed events at the always popular Dock Dogs competition. Families should be sure to check out the Kid’s Trout Pond and visit Eddie Eagle Kid’s Zone for crafts, games, and face painting. A must-see while at the show is The NRA Foundation’s Wall of Guns, sponsored by Weatherby, Inc. Open during show hours, attendees can try their luck to win one of over 40 different firearms while supporting the NRA Foundation and the future of the shooting sports.

The night before the show opens, supporters of the Second Amendment and outdoors traditions will gather for The NRA Foundation’s Sportsmen’s Auction on Friday, January 31. Join other defenders of Constitutional freedoms and our hunting heritage for dinner, games, auctions, and fun with a chance to win exclusive NRA guns, gear, décor, and collectibles. Tickets or tables for the auction can be purchased here.

Once again this year, NRA Country will put on an unforgettable night of music during the second weekend of the show. Join fellow outdoor enthusiasts on Saturday, February 8 for the NRA Country concert featuring headliner Riley Green with special guest John Morgan. NRA Country thanks Walther Arms and Sturm, Ruger & Co. for sponsoring this year’s concert. Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Riley Green has captivated Country music fans since his 2018 EP, with tracks such as number one platinum hit, “There Was This Girl,” the three-time platinum-certified heart-tugger, “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” and his chart-topping collaboration with Thomas Rhett, “Half of Me.” Special guest John Morgan will bring his blue-collar toughness to the NRA Country stage. Morgan has earned cuts with Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett, Jason Aldean, and Carrie Underwood. Very limited tickets remain and can be purchased here.

Tickets for the NRA Great American Outdoor Show can be purchased ahead of time online here, or at the entrances of the show. Attendees who sign up for an NRA membership are granted free admission to the exhibit hall. Also, be sure to take advantage of the “bounce back” promotion where any previous day’s show ticket can be used to gain free re-entry on the last Sunday of the show!
