Starting Memorial Day Weekend, 2026, the National Construction Equipment Museum will be hosting an annual Spring show. Show dates are Saturday the 23^rd. and Sunday the 24^th. Thereafter, it will be held the third weekend of May.

Hours are 8 to 6 each day, admission is $10.00 per day, $15.00 for a weekend pass.   

The show is not going to be a Convention. People are encouraged to bring equipment and gate admission will be charged as at a Convention, but there will be many differences. Personal mobility devices are welcome, and golf carts will be available.  Free primitive camping will be available with paid weekend admission, but be aware of weather conditions.

We will have the same policies in effect for equipment operation as at a Convention – HCEA membership is required, and you must demonstrate your competence and attend mandatory safety training. As we did at the 2025 Convention, we’ll have an equipment scavenger hunt for the kids, plus the Lakeside Sand & Gravel operating model screening plant will be in the sandbox for their enjoyment!

We'll also be having a banquet!

All the details are below. Feel free to share the flier!
