St. Louis Stamp Expo March 20-22

By Linn’s Staff

The 2026 St. Louis Stamp Expo will take place March 20-22 at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel, 9801 Natural Bridge Road, St. Louis, Mo.

The show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. This year’s show theme celebrates the 100th anniversary of Route 66.

The $5 admission fee is good for all three days of the show and includes free parking. Children under 16 are admitted free.

The United States Postal Service will have a booth at the show selling current stamp issues and philatelic items throughout the weekend. There will also be a beginner’s room where collectors of all ages can learn the basics of stamp collecting through games and hands-on instruction.

A bourse (sales area) of 37 dealers will offer stamps, covers and postal history from the United States and worldwide, and the show will feature 146 frames of competitive exhibits.

Because the St. Louis Stamp Expo is an American Philatelic Society World Series of Philately show, the multiframe grand award winner is eligible for the American Philatelic Society Champion of Champions competition at the Boston 2026 World Expo in Boston, Mass., May 23-30.

The single-frame grand award winner will be eligible for the single-frame championship at the Chicagopex show Nov. 20-22, in Itasca, Ill.

The St. Louis Stamp Expo awards banquet will take place Saturday evening. The judges will include chief judge Tim Bartshe, Ray Pietruszka, Andrew Kelley, Jan Hofmyer, John Hotchner and apprentice Bruce Wassermann.

Among the convening societies at the St. Louis Stamp Expo will be the Gastronomy on Stamps Study Unit of the American Topical Association.

The show hotel offers a room rate of $118 per night for show attendees. For more information on the St. Louis Stamp Expo, visit the show website at https://stlouisstampexpo.com.
