Florida Gun Shows lists a public show in Tampa, Florida for October 17–18, 2026. This is a preview of the organizer’s published schedule, checked on October 13, rather than a report from the event.

The published schedule

The listed venue is Florida State Fairgrounds, 4800 US-301, Tampa, FL 33610. Public hours are Saturday 9 a.m.–5 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. The organizer lists $15 listed admission. These details describe the selected occurrence; check the official page for current conditions and any changes.

A detail worth checking

The organizer also advertises later Tampa occurrences. Keep the October date visible when sharing the link, and check the selected occurrence if the website advances to its next event.

Before the trip

Ask the organizer about accessibility, parking, admission categories and entrance requirements if those details affect your visit. A published calendar is a planning reference, not a guarantee against a late change.

Compare dates in the Gunfire show directory, and use our show-visit checklist to keep essential information together. If an organizer announces a correction, send its source through the corrections page.
