When is the Tucson Gem Show in 2027?

2026-10-16

The 2027 Tucson gem shows run January 27 – February 14, 2027, per Visit Tucson, with a few venues open from Jan 13 to Feb 15. Opening and closing days for the big shows, plus 2028 and 2029 dates, with sources.

Short answer: Visit Tucson, the city's official tourism office, lists the 2027 winter gem shows as Wednesday, January 27 – Sunday, February 14, 2027.

The "Tucson Gem Show" isn't one event. TucsonGemShow101 calls it "a collection of over 40 independent shows," and each one sets its own dates. Its schedule (last updated October 5, 2026) shows a wider window, January 13 – February 15, 2027, because The Rock Yard opens early and two venues close a day late.
