Make sure you visit both Stanley H. “Tip” Seaman County Park and the Tuckerton Seaport & Baymen’s Museum. Find a parking place at the High School on Nugentown Road or Freedom Fields County Park on Route 539. Once you park, the free shuttle buses will drop you off at the show sites from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM both days. Our show hosts will warmly greet you and explain the events of the day.

We have something for everyone, including decoys, dogs, boats, wildlife art, wildlife carvings, gunning supplies, antique fishing and hunting paraphernalia, duck and goose calls, clothing, carving supplies and decoy/boat lumber. Ocean County Parks & Recreation is happy to sponsor and welcome back the Delmarva Dock Dogs.

The music tent provides a vibrant background to the culture of the Barnegat Bay and Pinelands. More than 50 contests and seminars will be held at the show sites during two action-packed days! Don’t miss the New Jersey Duck Calling Championship. The winner will represent New Jersey at the world championship in Stuttgart, Arkansas, in November. 

Join us for lunch as our numerous food vendors tempt your appetite with the mouth-watering aromas of delicious treats.

The show is a great family event, with activities for all age groups. So bring the family and come on down to Tuckerton for the 44th Old Time Barnegat Bay Decoy & Gunning Show. The staff, volunteers, and participating organizations hope you enjoy the show! Be sure to visit us again next year on September 25 & 26, 2027!
