2025 SHOW UPDATE

OUR 5th ANNUAL GREATER NEW ORLEANS MILITARIA SHOW RETURNS TO THE CASTINE CENTER ON OCTOBER 18th – 19th of 2025 & DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH THE MAPS SHOW IN OHIO! 

The Greater New Orleans Militaria Show will once again be partnered with the Saint Tammany Parish Department of Animal Services  and will be PAYING ALL ADOPTION FEES for ALL Military, 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!

This year’s admission fees are:

  • All Access Three Day Pass: $100
  • Two Day Pass: $15
  • General Admission: $10
  • Donate A Pet Related Item: $8

ABOUT OUR SHOW

We are NOT A GUN SHOW and do 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 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, non military related antiques or any item that we deem not to be a military antique or collectable or 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 seeking to make the 2025 Greater New Orleans Militaria Show an exclusive event and are going to focus our concentration 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 18th & 19th of 2025 and is brought to you exclusively by Old Patriot Militaria, LLC.

WELCOME!

We want to welcome each and every one of you to our 5th annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show that is being held on October 18th & 19th of 2025 at the beautiful Castine Center in Mandeville, Louisiana. Our 4th annual Greater New Orleans Militaria Show was a HUGE success and blew away all previous records for attendance and registered dealers! We are seriously considering changing things up a bit for our 5th annual show and are working hard to bring in a number of exquisite dealers that focus on very desirable, highly sought after, museum quality pieces. As this is still in the works, we will keep you updated on this page to let you all know of an changes and/or additions that take place. Of course, they will all be for the GOOD and will make the show even better for all those who attend. Trish and I cannot thank you enough for your continued support for our 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.
