The Nation’s Gun Show organizer marks its November 20–22, 2026 weekend as canceled. Its official website, checked November 2, attributes the cancellation to building-permit delays and identifies December 4–6 as the next listed show.

The canceled dates are still visible for a reason

The page retains the November dates with an explicit cancellation label. Readers arriving through a search result or an older calendar should treat that status label as part of the event information, not as a footnote to an otherwise active listing.

The organizer also marks the October 30–November 1 weekend canceled. This article does not assign a new announcement date to either notice because the page does not identify when the cancellation text was first published.

The next listed venue is in Sterling

The website identifies DTC Expo Center at 21050 Dulles Town Circle, Sterling, Virginia, within Dulles Town Center’s former Lord & Taylor space. It describes a two-floor venue. An older association with Chantilly should not be substituted for the address in the current organizer notice.

Visitors considering December should check the organizer again before committing to travel. A next-show listing is the current plan, not a guarantee that no further change can occur.

Update a saved event as a whole

Changing a date while retaining an old venue can create a new error. Keep the event name, status, dates and address together when updating a personal calendar or forwarding the information. If a reservation or ticket question is involved, contact the relevant provider directly; this report does not establish a refund policy.
