The Turlock Swap Meet — One of the West Coast’s Biggest Automotive Traditions
Get ready for the 59th Annual Turlock Swap Meet, returning January 24–25, 2026 at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock, California. This legendary event is one of the largest auto swap meets on the West Coast, drawing 15,000+ attendees and featuring 900+ vendors from across the country. [turlockswapmeet.com]
What began as a small gathering of Model A and Model T enthusiasts has grown into a massive two‑day celebration of automotive history, restoration culture, and classic car community. Vendors showcase everything from cars built in the 1920s–70s to authentic vintage parts, magazines, collectibles, signs, and hard‑to‑find treasures. Many sellers have been part of the event for decades — some for nearly 58 years straight. [turlockswapmeet.com]
