    The biggest all-Mopar events this year include the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals (July 10-12 in Carlisle, PA) and the Mopar Nationals (July 31–Aug 2 in Hebron, OH). [1, 2, 3, 4]
    For a regional road trip from Connersville, the premier shows and events in 2026 feature everything from massive swap meets to drag racing:
    • Midwest Mopars in the Park: May 29–31, 2026. Held at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington, MN. It is the largest all-Mopar show in the upper Midwest. [1, 2, 3]
    • Mopar Madness at 42: May 29–31, 2026. Held at Darana Dragway 42 in West Salem, OH. This includes a judged car show, swap meet, and drag racing. [1, 2, 3, 4]
    • Carlisle Chrysler Nationals: July 10–12, 2026. Located at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds. Billed as the largest Mopar event in the world, it features nearly 3,000 vehicles, a massive automotive flea market, and the Manufacturers Midway. [1, 2, 3]
    • Mopar Nationals: July 31–August 2, 2026. Hosted at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, OH, this massive 3-day event features a huge showfield, special anniversary displays, and drag racing. [1]
    • MoPowerMania: September 17–20, 2026. Held at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH. [1, 2]
    Do you plan on entering a vehicle for judging, or are you looking to buy parts at the swap meets? Let me know if you would like me to find lodging recommendations, spectator fees, or registration links for any of these specific destinations.
