Shareb Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi all. Just thought it would be fantastic to have a list or thread of Annual Miniature Shows held around the world. Even if dates change, annual events are generally around the same time each year and in the same place. We were in the UK last year and next year we'll be in the US around September. It would be wonderful to know ahead of time of any shows etc that may be on in what areas around that time. In NZ we have a bi-annual miniatures weekend which is held in a different part of the country each time. One of our local miniature clubs (it's about an hour's drive from me so I don't go that often) also does a miniature weekend in January every year. Not sure if there are annual shows - but there probably are just at local clubs. Certainly there's nothing big over here on an annual basis.

kokomo Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Great idea! I look forward to the Good Sam Miniature show in San Jose, California, every year. It's the biggest one we get around the San Francisco Bay Area. Here is a link: http://goodsamshowcase.miniature.net/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Portland Miniature Show in the fall (Oct 6&7 in 2018) and the Seattle Miniature Show in the spring (March 2&3, 2019).

Shareb Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 My NZ Association of Miniature Enthusiasts magazine arrived today after starting this thread! Our biennial Convention is happening this year 19-22 October and the theme is "Shop 'til you drop". It's in Palmerston North this year (about 6 hours drive from me). Otherwise everything in the 'events calendar' is listed under international! I might have to nip over to Australia for a show some time!

havanaholly Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Tracy/ sparklepuppies would know if the Atlanta miniature folks still put on two shows a year. I attended a couple of their September shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Yep. There are two shows in Atlanta each year. The March (1st week) show is put on by Tom Bishop, the September (3rd week) show is done by the Atlanta Miniature Society. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
