About the Show
Indiana's premier outdoor sporting event, bringing together anglers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts for an all new show in Northwest Indiana. It is being brought to you by Brailey Promotions, the company who has made the Indiana Fishing Expo and Tri-State Outdoor Show the premier shows they are.
Our Story
The Indiana Fishing & Outdoor Show was founded in 2026 with a simple mission: create a gathering place for Indiana's passionate outdoor community. We have been producing outdoor events for 30 years and we thought it was time northwest Indiana got to see what the rest of the state was talking about.
Over the past 25 years, we've welcomed thousands of visitors through our doors at our other events. From seasoned anglers sharing trophy catches to first-time hunters learning the ropes, our shows have always been about connecting people with Indiana's rich outdoor heritage.
Today the show spans two full days, features 165+ exhibitors, expert seminars, and draws families from across Indiana and neighboring states. We're proud to be the event that kicks off Indiana's outdoor season every March.
