The Barber Vintage Festival runs October 9 through 11, 2026, at Barber Motorsports Park, 6030 Barber Motorsports Parkway, Birmingham, AL 35094. Now in its 21st year, the festival is the world's largest vintage motorcycle gathering. The 2026 event is dedicated to the memory of park founder George W. Barber, who died in February 2026.
AHRMA vintage road racing runs on the park's 2.38-mile, 17-turn course throughout the weekend, alongside flat-track, cross-country, motocross, and trials competitions. The swap meet draws hundreds of vendors, with sources putting the count between 400 and 600, selling vintage parts and accessories across the 880-acre grounds.

The museum holds the Guinness World Record for the largest motorcycle collection, with more than 1,600 machines on display.
