Guns & Knife Show in Carrollton, Georgia — December 2026

Carrollton hosts the Guns & Knife Show on the last weekend of December 2026, giving collectors and dealers one more chance to gather before the year closes. Gem Capitol Shows runs the event at the VFW Fairground Complex on Bankhead Highway, a venue that pulls in visitors from across Georgia and the wider Southeast. Tables are packed with rifles, handguns and shotguns, alongside combat knives, swords, cartridges and self-defense gear. Shoppers also find antique coins, war relics, hunting and fishing accessories, and plenty of collectible pieces worth a closer look. Gem Capitol Shows keeps a busy schedule across Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas, and Carrollton is one of its long-standing stops. Admission is cash-only at the door, table reservations are handled in advance, and loaded firearms are not allowed inside the show floor. Because the dates land right after Christmas, hotel rooms in Carrollton tend to fill up fast. Booking a stay near the fairgrounds a few weeks ahead keeps the trip straightforward and puts you minutes from the entrance.
