WELCOME
The Turlock Swap Meet returns for its 60th year on January 30–31, 2027! Held at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock, it's one of the largest auto swap meets on the West Coast. Hosted by the Modesto Area A's Club, the event has grown from a small gathering for trading parts between Model A and Model T clubs into one featuring over 900 vendors and up to 15,000 attendees. Vendors showcase cars built from the 1920s through the 1960s and '70s, along with everything car-related, from vintage parts to magazines and signs.
Many vendors have been showing their cars and wares for years — some for the full 60 years! Vendor space registration is open to the public, but spaces are limited. Vendors who participated in last year's swap meet will have first right of refusal to all their 2026 registered spaces.
