Delta Waterfowl Opens Ticket Sales for 2026 Duck Hunters Expo
Join thousands of waterfowl hunters in Des Moines, Iowa, July 24 to 26
BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA — Tickets are now available for the largest event in North America dedicated to duck hunters, the Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo, July 24 to 26 in Des Moines, Iowa.
Presented by HEVI, attendees can shop and interact with top names in waterfowl, hear from expert guest speakers on two live stages, and take part in can't-miss events featuring a variety of raffle and auction items. Purchase your daily passes here and plan to join The Duck Hunters Organization™ for three days celebrating everything waterfowl.
Hosted at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, the Expo kicks off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:55 a.m. on Friday. From there, attendees can explore the show floor featuring more than 200 of the best waterfowling and outdoor brands, making it the ultimate one-stop shop for everything a duck hunter could want.
Amidst the vendors, two stages — the Kamado Joe Field-To-Table Stage and the Waterfowler’s Stage Presented by Dirty’s Outerwear — will host a wide range of celebrities, pro-staffers, and industry experts sharing their best insights on topics including tips for the upcoming season, retriever training techniques, taking your meals from harvest to table, and more.
Plus, you won't want to miss the Champions of Delta Luncheon, a special awards ceremony honoring individuals and groups who have made an outstanding impact on waterfowl conservation, or the Duck Hunters Grand Banquet, featuring live and silent auctions and raffles with fine guns, hunting gear, art prints, and outfitted hunts. In true Delta-supporter fashion, each of these events has sold out every year, so be sure to secure your tickets early.

"Waterfowl hunting has always been built on community, and that's exactly what the Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo celebrates," said Chris Williams, senior director of industry partnerships for Delta Waterfowl. "Over three days, we get to honor the rich heritage of waterfowling and recognize the dedicated volunteers and supporters who make a lasting difference, day-in and day-out, for ducks and duck hunters across North America. We can’t wait to see everyone this July."
