The 15th annual Seneca Allegany Sportsman Show is set to return to the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino Events Center on March 7 and 8, 2026, bringing together outdoor enthusiasts from across Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania for a weekend celebrating hunting, fishing, boating and more.
Hosted by York-Penn Shows, the event has steadily grown into one of the region’s premier gatherings for sportsmen and women. “Our show keeps getting better and better every year,” said Cecelia Buck Rhodes of York-Penn Shows, highlighting the continued expansion and enthusiasm surrounding the annual showcase.
York-Penn Shows describes itself as the largest and most diverse sportsman show promoter in Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. True to that claim, the Seneca Allegany Sportsman Show offers a wide-ranging lineup of vendors and exhibitors from near and far covering virtually every outdoor recreational interest. From hunting gear and fishing tackle to camping equipment, outdoor apparel and specialty services, the weekend promises something for seasoned outdoorsmen as well as families looking to explore new hobbies.
The show runs Saturday, March 7, from 9am-5pm and Sunday, March 8, from 9am-3pm. Admission is $10, and children 12 and under are admitted free, reinforcing the event’s family-friendly focus. Organizers emphasize that the show is designed not only for avid hunters and anglers, but also for newcomers curious about the outdoor lifestyle.
In addition to shopping and browsing, attendees can take advantage of educational displays tailored to all ages. Exhibits throughout the Events Center will provide information on wildlife conservation, safe firearm handling, outdoor safety and recreational opportunities throughout the region. These displays aim to inform and inspire responsible participation in outdoor activities.
For customers convenience, Pistol Permit Clerk’s from Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Alleghany counties will be on hand to answer any questions, put firearms with completed national background checks onto permits.
Door prizes will be awarded both days of the show, adding an extra layer of excitement for attendees. Sunday’s prize giveaways, beginning at 1pm, will feature larger items, culminating in a grand prize: a 48”/USA Liberty Floor Gun Safe. Winners do not need to be present to claim their prize, allowing attendees flexibility while still having a chance to win.
In partnership with Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino, special promotions are also available for guests, including a free slot play offer for eligible participants during the event weekend. Visitors are encouraged to check the casino’s website and official event pages for full details, updates and promotional information.
Event information and updates can also be found through the show’s official social media listings and the casino’s website. With its combination of vendors, educational exhibits, prize giveaways and family-friendly atmosphere, the 2026 Seneca Allegany Sportsman Show is poised to continue its tradition as a highlight of the late winter season in the Southern Tier.
Organizers invite outdoor enthusiasts of all experience levels to attend, connect with local experts and discover the latest products and services in the sporting world.
