The Northeastern Woodworkers Association's annual Show and Sale, also known as Showcase, is a two-day event featuring exhibits by amateur and professional woodworkers. The show takes place on March 28 and 29, 2026, at the Saratoga Springs City Center in Saratoga Springs, NY, with exhibition hours on Saturday from 9am to 5pm and Sunday from 9am to 4pm. The event is open to the general public, including families with children, who can participate in hands-on activities such as making a free toy at the Toy Factory.
The event will feature presentations by nationally and regionally recognized professionals and amateurs, including the Adirondack Woodturners Association, which presents the annual Woodturning Symposium. The symposium is a separate event that takes place during Showcase. The event also includes exhibits of fine woodworking items, including carvings, turnings, furniture, sculpture, and more, which are judged each year to award the best of the best in various categories.
Visitors can also participate in demos and hands-on activities, such as woodturning, pen turning, carving, toy making, and scroll sawing by local woodworking enthusiasts and clubs. The event also features a Showcase Store where unique woodcraft items can be purchased from NWA members and the larger woodworking community. Vendors from various woodworking-related businesses will also be present, selling their products and services.
The event is run by volunteers, and admission is free for those who volunteer. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up in advance to help with the event. The event is a great opportunity for woodworkers to showcase their work, sell their creations, and connect with other woodworking enthusiasts.
