Hamfests are events organized by amateur radio enthusiasts, for social gathering and comparison and sales of radio equipment. Most hamfests feature a flea market, where the attendees buy and sell equipment, generally from and for their personal stations. Some of the larger hamfests have another section, separate from the flea market, where vendors and manufacturers of new equipment demonstrate and sell their products at trade show-like booths. Some hamfests offer seminars on technical, operational, and legal aspects of amateur radio. Hamfests are usually annual or semiannual events lasting from several hours to several days, usually over a weekend.
