Where to stay for the 2026 Wilmington Guns & Knife Show

The Wilmington Guns & Knife Show returns to the American Legion in Wilmington, North Carolina on October 10-11, 2026. Hosted by S&D Gun Shows, this two-day expo brings regional dealers and collectors together to buy, sell and trade firearms, knives and related equipment. The floor features combat knives, swords, hunting rifles, shotguns and antique pistols alongside magazines, display cases, holsters, war relics, Indian artifacts and outdoor gear. Ammo, laser sights and gun parts complete the lineup. Whether you are a longtime collector or just curious, you can walk the tables, talk with specialists and compare pieces in person. Doors open Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The venue sits on Carolina Beach Road, a short drive from downtown Wilmington and close to hotels, beaches and restaurants. S&D Gun Shows runs a full season across eastern North Carolina, with stops in New Bern, Wilson, Southport and Greenville. Admission details and dealer information are posted on the organizer's site ahead of each show.
