TUCSON, AZ, September 05, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- GLW Shows, a long-standing wholesale trade show partner in Tucson, has opened its Tucson Holidome Gem Show Fall 2026, a four-day event set for September 3 to 6, 2026. The show is held at the Tucson Holidome, located at 3168 E. Michigan St., Tucson, AZ 85714.
This wholesale-only marketplace brings together gemstones, fine jewelry, minerals, beads, and lapidary supplies for qualified trade buyers from across the country. Retailers and industry professionals can meet trusted suppliers and stock up on fresh inventory ahead of the holiday season.
"Four days at the Holidome connects serious buyers with global suppliers, connections that last all year," said Felicia Crigler, COO of GLW Shows.
Since 1972, GLW Shows has been a part of the Tucson gem show scene, operating two major venues, the Tucson Holidome and the Tucson Gem Mall. Together, these venues host hundreds of international vendors and thousands of wholesale buyers annually. GLW Shows' events are recognized as part of the largest U.S.-based gem show circuit and offer exhibitor opportunities, wholesale access registration, market intelligence, and year-round partnership opportunities.
The Fall show is wholesale-only, and attendees must present a valid state-issued sales tax license tied to the gem, jewelry, or related trade to gain entry. Buyers can register at the door for credential verification and entry. Exhibitors can apply for booth space to showcase gemstones, minerals, and jewelry to the visiting trade.
Beyond sourcing, the show serves as a networking and education opportunity. Buyers can connect with exhibitors and industry leaders, discover current trends in lapidary arts, and gain insights from gem professionals from around the world.
The Fall show is a preview of GLW Shows' larger winter event: the Tucson Wholesale Gem Show 2027, spanning the Holidome and Gem Mall. This event, set for January 28, 2027, is now accepting early registration. GLW Shows' events are part of the broader Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase, an annual season of more than 40 individual shows across the city. In recent years, these events have generated more than $131 million in direct economic activity and drawn more than 65,000 visitors from over 40 countries.
Buyers attending the Fall show should note that a nearby road closure may affect GPS directions to the Holidome. GLW Shows recommends an alternate route via I-10 Exit 265 toward Alvernon Way, then E. Irvington Road, S. Palo Verde Road, and E. Michigan Street.
