Discover Hidden Treasures: Closing the Year at the Tucson Fall Gem Show

Why Attend in the Fall?

While Tucson is famous for its massive winter gem shows, the Fall Showcase offers a unique atmosphere. The pace is slightly more relaxed, giving buyers and sellers more time for conversations, custom orders, and networking. It’s also perfectly timed for retailers preparing for the holiday shopping season.

By attending in late August, you can:

• Discover early trends before they hit the wider market.
  
• Secure inventory before the busy year-end rush.
  
• Build direct relationships with suppliers and designers.
• Enjoy smaller crowds compared to the winter shows.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Visit

1. Plan Your Day

With so many vendors and categories, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Review the show layout in advance and mark the booths you don’t want to miss.

2. Wear Comfortable Shoes

Expect to walk — A LOT. The Tucson Expo Center is large, and you’ll be on your feet for most of the day.

3. Bring Business Cards

If you’re in the industry, networking is a big part of the experience. Vendors appreciate having your information handy for follow-ups.

4. Bring a Tote or Small Rolling Bag

Purchases and samples can add up quickly. Having a bag makes it easier to carry your finds.

5. Arrange Transportation Ahead of Time

Parking can be limited during large events. Booking a VIP Taxi in advance means you’ll be dropped off right at the entrance, without the hassle of finding a spot.
