General Show Information
The Rocky Mountain Apparel, Gift & Resort Show is the only wholesale buying event dedicated to mountain, resort, and western retailers — and it happens twice a year in Denver, Colorado. It's a business-to-business trade show where independent boutiques, national park stores, resort shops, western lifestyle stores, and travel retailers connect directly with brands to discover new products and place orders. Think of it as Denver's gift market and apparel market rolled into one — built specifically for the mountain retail market.
The Rocky Mountain Show is held twice each year in Denver, Colorado — a winter show each February and a summer show each August. The 2026 summer show runs August 25–27 at the National Western Livestock Center, 4850 National Western Drive, Denver, CO 80216. Venue details for each show are posted on this site as dates are confirmed. If you'd like information about an upcoming show, reach out to us at info@redlinexpo.com.
