Moscow’s Premier International Hunting and Arms Exhibition
OREL EXPO, Russia’s leading international exhibition for hunting weapons and outdoor goods, is set to return for its 2026 edition. After a calendar adjustment, the event will now take place from November 4–7, 2026, at the historic Gostiny Dvor exhibition centre in central Moscow. The venue is located just steps from the Kremlin and Red Square, making it one of the most prestigious exhibition locations in the country.
A Key Event in the Russian Arms Calendar
The exhibition has long been regarded as a major milestone in the Russian arms industry, attracting manufacturers, distributors, and enthusiasts from across the country. The 2026 edition was initially planned for October but was rescheduled to November after the exhibition’s management worked with the Gostiny Dvor team to secure new dates. This move has confirmed the event’s strong demand and strategic importance in the industry calendar.
Adding to the event’s profile, a strategic partnership agreement was signed in July 2026 between the main Russian arms exhibition “OREL EXPO” and Russia’s oldest arms industry journal, Kalashnikov. This collaboration is expected to enhance the event’s media presence and industry influence.
