SIXTH ANNUAL GREATER NEW ORLEANS MILITARIA SHOW – CASTINE CENTER – MANDEVILLE, LA – OCTOBER 3rd & 4th of 2026 – LET’S MAKE THIS A 350 TABLE SHOW – RESERVE YOUR TABLES NOW! 

We have the opportunity to grow the 6th annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show into a 350 table event, but need YOUR help! If you are a dealer in military antiques, military collectables, military relics, vintage firearms and vintage edged weapons or just have a collection that you wish to sell, please reach out to us ASAP to request tables! Our show is becoming a nationally as well as internationally recognized event and tables WILL become very hard to obtain. If you request your tables now and at least put down a deposit, you may  hold your tables for as long as you wish. Now is your opportunity to become a part of something that helps not only the militaria collecting community, but also Animal Services, FFA and the American Legion!

The 6th annual show will once again be partnered with the Saint Tammany Parish Department of Animal Services  and will be PAYING ALL ADOPTION FEES for Current & Former Military as well as Law Enforcement and First Responders!

To further our community outreach, we are very proud to announce that ALL FOOD SALES at this year’s show will benefit local high school and middle school chapters of Future Farmers of America (FFA)! These wonderful young folks and their dedicated FFA advisors will be cooking, serving and selling a wide variety of delicious meals and treats throughout both dealer setup periods and show hours!

ATM AVAILABLE! We have partnered with Barbucks, LLC of Slidell and they will be providing ATM services for this year’s show! This will be our first show with an ATM, thank goodness! Now, you won’t have to worry about not having cash at the door or about running out of cash before you find that perfect item to add to your collection!

Animal Services will be on sight with pets available for adoption! Also, a portion of our show will serve as a fundraiser and donation drive for Animal Services. Throughout the entire show, we will be accepting donations of cash and pet related items in the form of food, toys, beds, blankets, treats, pottie pads, blankets, towels and more. As a token of our appreciation, anyone who brings in an item to donate will receive $2 off the cost of admission into the show!

The Greater New Orleans Militaria Show is not “just” a military antiques show, but an event that strives to be a pivotal part of our history-rich community. Our show is dedicated to enriching our community through philanthropy and history education as well as the conservation and preservation of military related artifacts. We welcome everyone from junior collectors and history buffs to the most advanced, seasoned collectors to attend. There will be something at the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show for everyone!

ABOUT THE SHOW

Its the equivalent of visiting an elite military history museum and being able to purchase the artifacts.” Is how the promoters of the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show describe their event. It is NOT A GUN SHOW and does not allow the sale of modern firearms of any type. This policy is STRICTLY enforced. However, we DO allow the sale of firearms classified as Curios & Relics (More Than 50 Years Old) as well as those classified as Antiques (1898 & Prior) by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms. While not mandatory, we do ask that dealers try to limit these weapons to military in their origins as much as possible. We work closely with the BATF to insure that all laws and regulations are followed and we do invite them to attend every show. Also, we DO NOT allow the sale of reloaded ammunition, reloading equipment, black powder, smokeless powder or Pyrodex. We also DO NOT allow the sale of any modern ammunition that is not in its original packaging and ask that any modern ammunition offered for sale be of a caliber used by a nation’s military at some point in history. Unique, vintage and collectable ammunition that is not being sold for the purpose of firing in a weapon is allowed to not be in it’s original packaging. This policy is also STRICTLY enforced and failure to follow these guidelines can result in dealers being escorted from the show.

We also DO NOT allow the sale of food items, T-shirts, jewelry, modern leather goods, political items, new non-military related items, non military related antiques or any item that we deem not to be a military antique or collectable that does not fit within the scope of the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show. If you have any questions related to this, visit the “Show Policy” section of this website, email us or call us at one of the numbers listed below.

We are making the 2026 Greater New Orleans Militaria Show an exclusive event and are concentrating on bringing in new dealers with exquisite, unique and highly desirable, museum quality pieces. We will always be the show for every collector no matter how seasoned or how new to the hobby and will always include dealers that are buying and selling world class military antiques from around the globe.

Keep in mind that many of our dealers offer FREE in show appraisals and authentications.  If you are wishing to sell a single item or a lifelong collection, one of our dealers or auction companies will be more than happy to assist you. All you have to do is inform a member of our show staff at the door when you enter and we will make the introductions for you.  Once again, the 5th Annual show will be located at the beautiful Castine Center in Mandeville, Louisiana on October 3rd & 4th of 2026 and is brought to you exclusively by Old Patriot Militaria, LLC.

WELCOME!

Our 6th Annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show will be October 3rd & 4th of 2026. We are planning to make this a 350 table show and expand it into the 4th hall of the Castine Center. However, we cannot do this without YOUR help! If you are a dealer of military antiques, vintage firearms and/or edged weapons, we need you to register as a dealer at the show ASAP! Attendance of the show is now reaching into the thousands of people and many dealers have reported their highest sales ever! Many of the top, most well known dealers in the nation are now attending the show and have already signed up for the 6th annual show. We now host dealers from more than 20 states and the show regularly features 225 tables. We see no reason that if we start now that we cannot push the show up to 350 tables. This show is becoming a nationally and internationally recognized event and tables are going to become very hard to obtain. If you secure your tables now, you will be able to hold them for as long as you wish. Trish and I cannot thank you enough for your continued support of the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show and our business, Old Patriot Militaria. If we can ever be of any assistance whatsoever, please reach out to us as we are always happy to help.
