SWAP MEET
The Decatur Swap Meet is the first major automotive swap meet of the season in the south-central United States. It is the meet our shoppers look for to kick off the new season of restorations, repairs, car shows, and tours. Vendors from as far away as Minnesota take part in the meet year after year.
This yearly event is sponsored by the Wise County Antique Auto Club and hosts more than 3,000 vendors each year. The meet takes place at the Wise County Fair Grounds the last weekend of February come rain or shine. The event not only brings history to life, the crowds it draws serve as a major boom for the local economy. There is an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people walking through the Swap Meet on Saturday if there is good weather. An economic study done a few years ago showed that the meet adds $2.7 to $3 million to the local economy. The meet is one of the most popular in the region and the first held in the South. It runs 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. For more information, call (940) 627-6555.
