More about the Joplin Hamfest
Each year, the Joplin Amateur Radio Club sponsors this Hamfest which has become one of the premier events in the midwest. Started in 1990, it has been held at the Joplin Trade Center located off of South Range Line at I-44, in Joplin, Missouri since 1994.
Situated less than 200 miles from several major cities in four states, including Little Rock, Ft. Smith, Fayetteville, Wichita, Topeka, St. Joseph, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kansas City
and Springfield, this hamfest has become popular with amateurs and vendors across the Middle West. It features over 250 tables in a 30,000 square foot air-conditioned facility, spacious parking with easy access, wide aisles, forums, testing, great food, and prizes.
Saturday
the doors open at 8AM and close at 2PM, with prize drawings and forums throughout the day.
Drawings for door prizes
are made throughout the event. All door prizes drawn can be claimed up to the end of the hamfest Saturday.
Drawing tickets must be presented to win all prizes!
If you leave, give your tickets to a trusted friend to claim your prizes for you.
Only the grand prize drawings will be repeated until someone claims them.
Commercial vendors
are encouraged to reserve their table space early
with payment
to insure they are guaranteed space. Pre-registration payment
offers the advantage of getting your business listed in the flyer and on the website. Commercial vendors pay 40.00 per table regardless of length.
The list of vendors shown on the website includes links when provided. These vendors have come from all over the Middle West to participate and support our event. We encourage our
attendees to patronize them.
The host hotel is
La Quinta
, and offers special room rates for hamfest attendees which include a full breakfast! We have blocked the rooms, but you must
call 417-781-0500
and mention code
JOPLIN HAMFEST
to get the hamfest rate. Shuttle available all day from hotel to hamfest.
HAMS are also encouraged to bring their families and spend the weekend discovering the rich history of the Ozark area playground located all around our town! Information and
maps are available at the Hamfest about several area attractions and area events.
Some of the attractions include the
Wildcat Glades Conservation & Audubon Center
, the
Spiva
Art Museum
,
Richardson's Chocolate Factory
,
SandStone Gardens
, and the
Joplin Museum Complex
- where you can discover the colorful lead and zinc mining history of this area. The new
Downstream Casino Resort
located just minutes away. For information about other things to do in the Joplin area, visit the
Joplin Convention Visitors Bureau
. Here you can obtain literature
and discover more about Joplin and the surrounding area in the foothills of the Ozarks.

bring the family
