The largest event in North America dedicated to the duck hunter!
Mark your calendars for July 24-26, 2026, as the Delta Waterfowl Duck Hunters Expo takes center stage at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa. This fifth annual event, presented by HEVI-Shot, promises to bring together waterfowl enthusiasts from across North America for three unforgettable days of all things ducks and duck hunting.
Experience the Delta Grand National Calling Championship, explore Delta’s Hunting Heritage Booths, browse the newest gear, celebrate conservation at the Champions of Delta luncheon, or join fellow waterfowlers at Friday’s Duck Hunters Grand Banquet with raffles and live auctions. It all adds up to be three packed days surrounded by the best that waterfowling has to offer, just before the 2026-2027 waterfowl season takes flight.
