The short version
The 48th LeMay Annual Show ran Saturday, August 29, 2026 at LeMay Collections at Marymount in Tacoma: a free public car-show day on the historic Marymount campus, not the paid downtown America’s Car Museum campus on East D Street. Organizer materials listed 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., free general admission, and an optional Private Garages upgrade ($20 advance / $25 day-of) with bus service to the C Street garages. Collector cars enter 325 152nd St E; spectators without a show car must use the back gate at 14601 4th Ave E or be turned away at the front. Expect LeMay collection vehicles plus club and enthusiast fields on the grounds. Different product from RADwood at Griot’s or HondafestNW in Kent.

Planning tips
- General admission is free. Budget only if you want the Private Garages bus upgrade.
- Wrong gate = turned away. Spectators without a collector car use 14601 4th Ave E. Show cars use 325 152nd St E.
- Field spots for collector cars are first come, first served from 9:00 a.m. Arrive early if you are displaying.
- Do not confuse Marymount with LeMay – America’s Car Museum downtown (2702 East D St). Different campuses, different tickets.
- Food trucks and vendors appear in organizer materials. Still bring water for an August Tacoma afternoon.
- Watch lemaymarymount.org for the next Annual Show date rather than assuming late August forever.
