Kenner Guns & Knife Show 2026 in Westwego, Louisiana

The Kenner Guns & Knife Show lands in the New Orleans metro area on October 24-25, 2026. Held at the Alario Center in Westwego, the weekend brings together dealers and collectors from across the Gulf Coast to buy, sell and trade firearms, knives, holsters, ammunition, reloading supplies, military surplus and camouflage clothing. Doors open to the general public and trade visitors alike. Saturday hours run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with vendor setup on Friday afternoon. Flea market material is not permitted, so the floor stays focused on shooting sports, hunting and tactical equipment. Admission is $11 for the Kenner/Westwego shows and $2 for kids aged 6-11. Active-duty military in uniform or with valid ID and uniformed law enforcement officers are admitted free. The venue offers 24-hour security and the show is backed by heavy local advertising. Traveling in for the event? The Alario Center sits on Segnette Boulevard, close to the West Bank neighborhoods and a short drive from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and the hotels lining the airport corridor and downtown New Orleans.
