Four-day wholesale event runs September 3–6 at the Tucson Holidome, offering trade buyers early access to fresh inventory for the holiday selling season
TUCSON, AZ, September 05, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- GLW Shows, a wholesale trade show partner in Tucson for more than five decades, today opened the Tucson Holidome Gem Show Fall 2026, a four-day wholesale-only marketplace running September 3–6, 2026, at the Tucson Holidome, 3168 E. Michigan St., Tucson, AZ 85714 (GLW Shows).
The event brings together wholesale gemstones, fine jewelry, minerals, beads and lapidary supplies for qualified trade buyers from across the country, giving retailers and industry professionals a chance to meet trusted suppliers and stock fresh inventory ahead of the holiday selling season (GLW Shows).
"What makes this show special is the relationships. Four days at the Holidome connects serious buyers with global suppliers—connections that last all year," said Felicia Crigler, COO of GLW Shows.
GLW Shows has participated in the Tucson gem show scene since 1972 and operates two major Tucson venues — the Tucson Holidome and the Tucson Gem Mall — which together host hundreds of international vendors and draw thousands of wholesale buyers each year. The company's shows are recognized as part of the largest U.S.-based gem show circuit and provide exhibitor opportunities, wholesale access registration, market intelligence and year-round partnership opportunities for the trade (GLW Shows).
The Fall show is wholesale-only: 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, and exhibitors can apply for booth space to showcase gemstones, minerals and jewelry to the visiting trade (GLW Shows).
Beyond sourcing, the show is positioned 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 (GLW Shows).
The Fall show is a preview of GLW Shows' larger winter event: the Tucson Wholesale Gem Show 2027, spanning the Holidome and Gem Mall, opens January 28, 2027, with early registration now available (GLW Shows). 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 that in recent years has generated more than $131 million in direct economic activity and drawn more than 65,000 visitors from over 40 countries (GLW Shows).
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 (GLW Shows).
GLW Shows has been a wholesale trade show partner in Tucson since 1972 and for more than five decades has connected wholesale buyers with exhibitors of gemstones, minerals, fossils, beads and jewelry. The company hosts two major venues in Tucson — the Tucson Holidome and the Tucson Gem Mall — spanning four pavilions and drawing hundreds of international vendors and thousands of qualified trade buyers each year. GLW Shows' events are part of the largest U.S.-based Gem Show Circuit and the broader Tucson Gem Mineral & Fossil Showcase. More information is available at glwshows.com.
