Next Show:
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of military history at the Lakemoor Military Show!
Step back in time as you explore over 100 vendor tables, each one a treasure trove of military collectibles, from rare uniforms and medals to historical documents and equipment. This year, we honor the past with a unique display dedicated to the holiday season during World War II, bringing to life the stories and traditions of soldiers on the front lines and their families at home.
Beyond the collectibles, the show will feature impressive military vehicles on display and historical exhibits that provide a glimpse into different eras of military history.
In the spirit of the season, we're proud to host a Toys for Tots drive. Please consider bringing a new, unwrapped toy to help us give back to the community and make a difference for children in need.
Whether you're a seasoned collector, a history buff, or looking for a family-friendly holiday event, the Lakemoor Military Show offers a fascinating and meaningful experience for all. We'll see you there!
