Tucson Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Shows
Information is Subject to Change
Wholesale shows set their own policy. Buyer registration usually requires copy of business license and/or tax-exempt certificate/resale tax identification and business card.
The Metropolitan Tucson Convention & Visitors Bureau simply disseminates basic information about the shows. You must contact the shows individually for exhibit space availability and costs. However, you may use this Web site to make your hotel reservations and for other Tucson information.
Listings for Winter 2010 shows are still coming in from show owners. If you would like to contact a specific Tucson show that you don't see listed here, please call Traci Smith at 520-770-2169.

Additional Info: Please note: This show has changed locations from the TCC to the Kino Veterans Memorial Community Center 2805 E Ajo Way.
This event is open to the public. If you are a wholesale buyer, please bring proper credentials with you (i.e. tax resale license and business cards). Please note that while this event is open to the public, many if not all, exhibitors will conduct wholesale transactions with you but the following conditions must be met: (a) the exhibitor is willing to make a wholesale transaction- some (few) vendors, mostly artisans, do not carry inventory for such transactions, (b) you have proper credentials with you (listed above), and (b) your purchase meets their minimum requirement for such a transaction (each exhibitor sets their own minimum). If ALL conditions are NOT met, THE EXHIBITOR MAY NOT process the sale as a wholesale transaction as it will violate show policy and/or state/federal laws. Please be respectful of this and do not ask the exhibitor to risk expulsion or heavy fines for the purpose of a sale, as this may be considered criminal solicitation.
