2024 SHOW UPDATE
NO PET ADOPTION FEES ON 12 OCTOBER 2024 FOR ALL ACTIVE DUTY, RETIRED & FORMER MILITARY AS WELL AS LAW ENFORCEMENT & FIRST RESPONDERS!
The Greater New Orleans Militaria Show has once again partnered with the Saint Tammany Parish Department of Animal Services and members of their staff will be at the show on Saturday, 12 October 2024 with pets available for adoption! We are proud to announce that the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show will be PAYING ALL ADOPTION FEES for Active Duty & Retired Military as well as Former Military (Veterans), Law Enforcement and First Responders! We welcome our entire community to come out and support our event but are extending a special invitation to our military and first responders by giving them a chance to bring home their next “furry family member” at no charge!
Not only will pets be available for adoption, but a portion of the 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 history related artifacts. We welcome everyone from junior collectors and history buffs to the most advanced, seasoned collectors. There will be something at the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show for everyone!

ABOUT OUR SHOW
The fourth annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show will be a 200+ table event featuring dealers from more than TWENTY states! Our dealers will not only be buying and selling world class military antiques from around the globe, but will also be offering 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. The show will be located at the beautiful Castine Center in Mandeville, Louisiana on October 12th & 13th of 2024 and is now brought to you exclusively by Old Patriot Militaria, LLC. We plan to make our fourth annual show the largest and most ambitious event to date. We are capable of expanding the show to nearly 400 tables, so we are going to “shoot for the moon” and do our best to get to that number. Our show has already hosted some of the most well known as well as most respected names in our hobby and even more are joining us in 2024. The focus of our fourth annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show is simple . . . EXPANSION! We will expand our philanthropic outreach with the Saint Tammany Parish Department of Animal Services in order to increase awareness as well as provide more financial and material assistance. We will continue to expand the amount of dealer tables and involvement of local history based entities. All the while continuing to establish this show as a five-star history education centered event. This show will continue to revolve around buying, selling and displaying of artifacts while adding further emphasis on the conservation and preservation of military antiques.
We are building on our past to better our future. Our 2023 show saw more than 220 tables filled with dealers from 20 states as well as over 1,000 members of the visiting public entering the event! This is a 33% increase over the amount of visitors in 2022 and 55% increase in the amount of visitors that attended our first show in 2021. With such steady and significant increases, it appears that the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show is now on the road to becoming a “destination show” for dealers and collectors from across the country. Our ultimate goal is to develop the Greater New Orleans Militaria Show into a significant event that rivals the “MAX” Show and is worthy of both national and international attention.
