2026 VCCA ANNIVERSARY MEET
Rapid City, South Dakota
July 12-Jul 17, 2026

Get ready, VCCA members! The 2026 Anniversary Meet is heading west to Rapid City, South Dakota, and the stunning Black Hills. The event will run from Sunday, July 12, to Friday, July 17.

Whether you’re a new member or a seasoned veteran, this is your chance to explore one of the country’s most iconic destinations. Since our last visit in 1996, nearly three-fourths of our members have joined, so this is a great opportunity for everyone to experience the scenic byways, historic monuments, and a true sense of pioneer spirit.

You’ll have plenty of time to explore the area in your vintage Chevrolet/GMC or modern vehicle. The meet includes two full days dedicated to touring, plus a judging day at the Central States Fairgrounds. At the fairgrounds, you’ll find plenty of shaded seating, an air-conditioned building, and a variety of food trucks. We are also planning lots of other activities for your arrival day and evenings.

With so much to see and do, you might want to consider arriving early or staying longer. Save the date now and start planning your trip to the Black Hills!

There is no elevator, so please, if possible, book a second-floor room to allow the first-floor rooms for those unable to use stairs.
