In Beautiful Downtown Fort Walton Beach Florida there is a long standing tradition of putting on a Spring Amateur Radio Hamfest! Through the years the team at the Playground Amateur Radio Club has brought Amateur Radio Operators and Communication Enthusiasts from all walks of life together to participate in one of the Southeast’s best shows!
Coming in 2026 with dates tentatively set for the third weekend in March on the 20th (Friday) and the 21st (Saturday), the Playground Amateur Radio Club, Inc. of Fort Walton Beach invites YOU to the Rigdon Center (formerly the Northwest Florida Fairgrounds) at 1958 Lewis Turner Blvd, Fort Walton beach Florida for its 56th consecutive and annual tradeshow!
As we embark upon this journey together, watch this page for more information concerning prices for tables, admission fees, reservation instructions, prize notifications, and more! This hobby is great because YOU choose to be involved! We function as a team to proudly give back to the community and extend our handshake in welcoming you to the 56th Playground Amateur Radio Club Hamfest!
