The 2025 show debuted immediately following Milwaukee's thousand-year flood that shut down the Wisconsin State Fair, flooded Milwaukee International Airport's runways, overflowed four rivers and flooded homes with water up to 3 feet high.
Yet 7,500 determined attendees from 39 states came to the debut show and despite the weather-withered attendance, many of our vendors still had a good show. Here is what four of them said:
The 2025 inaugural Milwaukee Show was a great success for us! Many new customers in a beautiful venue. The growth potential here is off the charts!

Looking ahead, the elegant 2026 Milwaukee Show will double in size to (206,000 sqft) and is now America's largest mineral & gem show under one roof.
