Turlock Swap Meet
The Modesto Area A’s began the Swap Meet in 1965, located in the McHenry Shopping Center in Modesto. The event quickly outgrew the space available and in 1966 moved to the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds located at 900 N. Broadway, Turlock, CA. 95380, and became known nationally as the TURLOCK SWAP MEET. It has become one of the premier events in the hobby of restoring and collecting antique and classic automobiles.
The TURLOCK SWAP MEET always takes place during the last full weekend in January. In 2019, the Swap Meet will take place January 26th and 27th. The hours of operation are Saturday, 7 AM to 5 PM and Sunday, 7 AM to 3 PM. Admission is $10.00 at the gate on Saturday and $5.00 on Sunday; children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.
For your convenience, an ATM is located in front of the Main Kitchen, which is near the Information Booth. There will be others spaced around the meet.
