The State of Maine Sportsman's Show returns to the Augusta Civic Center March 26-28, 2027 for its 45th year. The show is a partnership between The Maine Sportsman magazine and the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine. The 2026 edition drew more than 9,500 outdoor enthusiasts and filled the exhibition floor with 125 vendors, outfitters and non-profits, alongside sporting dog demonstrations, a turkey calling contest, a trail camera contest, an archery station, taxidermy and wood-carving displays, and a packed seminar schedule. Kids' activities are a regular feature. New vendor applications reopen in January 2027 — contact Carol at The Maine Sportsman, (207) 622-4242.
