HAA Show News & Updates
2021 Show Dates Change! May 6-9, 2021
Hello everyone-
It’s hard to believe during these challenging times that the holiday season is here already! As we all scramble to come up with creative ways to safely celebrate with family and friends, we want to update you on the status of our 2021 show. Due to the spike in numbers regarding COVID-19 we have made the difficult decision to push back our show dates from March to May. Our new dates are May 6-9, 2021.
PLEASE NOTE: All tickets previously purchased for either the March 2020 or March 2021 show will automatically be rolled over to the new show dates, May 6-9, 2021.
Please know TransWorld is very committed to producing the best show we can in 2021. To deliver on that promise, we are working hard to run the show in accordance with the current COVID guidelines from the CDC, the State of Missouri, the City of St. Louis, America’s Center, and our hotel and vendor partners. Guidelines may change and we recommend that you frequently review the “Health and Safety” page on our sites for updates. The health and safety of our exhibitors, buyers and staff is of the utmost importance to us.
We understand that this has been a very frustrating process for everyone. We truly appreciate everyone’s support fo our shows in such uncertain times. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in St. Louis May 6-9, 2021 for an exciting event that will bring you products, seminars and networking opportunities to jump start your business for the 2021 season!
Regarding booked hotel rooms:
We are currently working with the hotels on a smooth transition of room reservations. It will take a few weeks for the reservations departments to move the reservations as well as send emails to you, if appropriate. In addition, it will take the hotels a few weeks to send TransWorld updated information for our travel page (new deposit dates, cut off date, booking links, etc.) Please give the hotels a few weeks to implement the changes in your reservations as outlined below.
All current hotel reservations for the 2021 March show dates will either be rebooked or rolled over to the new May 2021 dates by the hotels. Hotel procedures differ at each property. If your hotel reservation has been cancelled and rebooked you will receive a new confirmation number via email. If your reservation has been rolled over, you may not receive a new confirmation number. If you have any questions please contact the hotel directly.

2021 Registration is Open!
We are excited to announce registration is now open for TransWorld’s 2021 Halloween and Attractions Show! The HAA show takes place at the America’s Center in downtown St. Louis, March 4th-7th, 2021. With over 500,000 sq. feet of event space, this annual one-of-a-kind show is also co-located with TransWorld’s Christmas Show and Room Escape Show: 3 great shows all under one roof!
TransWorld’s Holiday Show is the ONLY industry trade show of its kind in the world; no other show has as many exhibitors and industry-related products. For over 3 decades, TransWorld created the marketplace for the haunted house industry and this annual event brings it together to network, get new ideas, self-educate and purchase the newest and most cutting-edge products.
This is a MUST ATTEND event if you are thinking about opening or currently operating a haunted attraction, corn maze, farm, pumpkin patch, paintball field, family fun center, amusement park, zoo, aquarium, Halloween retail store or anything Halloween-related. The show continues to grow every year with new exhibitors, new products and the largest educational seminar series taught by industry experts. We have everything you need to make this year’s Halloween season a HUGE SUCCESS!
The health and safety of our attendees, exhibitors and staff is of the utmost importance to us. TransWorld is working closely with the America’s Center, Explore St. Louis, and other show partners on multiple health and safety measures. Detailed health and safety plans will be communicated closer to the show. Please review our health and safety page for more details: https://haashow.com/health-and-safety/
