The Man Show Expo 2026 – The Ultimate Weekend for Guys! Friday April 3rd & Saturday April 4th 2026

Get ready, Springfield — the Man Show Expo presented by Creative Audio is back and bigger than ever.

Join us Friday, April 3rd from 5PM–9PM and Saturday, April 4th from 10AM–5PM at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds for two days packed with action, energy, and nonstop entertainment.

This is not your average trade show. It’s louder, cooler, and built for anyone who loves cars, gear, gadgets, and hands-on fun.

With over 90 booths filling the West and Center Halls, you’ll find everything from Men’s Health, home upgrades to hunting gear, BBQ, motorcycles, side-by-sides, hot rods, 4x4s, golf carts, pool tables and so much more!

Grab incredible BBQ from The Grill Guys Vegan Recovery Center, enjoy cold Coors, and sample a wide range of bourbons, moonshines, spirits, wine, beer, and mead from brands like Full Throttle Distillery, TyIechyed Distillery, Missouri Ridge Distillery & Brewing, AI Brands, Long Line Distillery, Windy Wine Co., Garage Beer, and Ozark Viking Mead.

Like what you try? You can purchase bottles directly from vendors to take home and enjoy after the show.

And it gets even better.

We’re giving away over $10,000 in prizes just for attending. Walk the show, visit booths, and enter to win prizes like a firearms class for you and five friends from Downrange & Dialogue, a Rugged Radios package, a $500 Cavender’s gift card, artwork from Rick Byrd, a BBQ grill from Frank Leta Acura, and even a brand-new enclosed trailer worth over $7,000 from Grace Pro Trailer.

The East Hall is all about sound and excitement, featuring the biggest names in audio including KICKER, Rockford Fosgate, Hertz, Audison, Cicada Audio, Memphis Audio, KENWOOD USA, PowerBass, JBL, and Wet Sounds, plus incredible vehicles on display from the Branson Celebrity Car Museum and the Route 66 Car Museum.

Saturday turns it up even more with Amp’d Up in the Ozarks, one of the Midwest’s most high-energy open-class car shows, along with the SPL competition and live dyno testing from Horsepower Proving Grounds.

And don’t miss Iron Alliance – full amour combat action, with one show Friday night and three shows on Saturday.

If you love cars, trucks, ATVs, motorcycles, grilling, garage upgrades, or just having an absolute blast—this is YOUR event. TELL YOUR FRIENDS. BRING YOUR CREW. BRING YOUR FAMILY. AND GET READY FOR TWO DAYS OF PURE FUN!
