August 2025 – Maryland
15th Annual ALPCA Chesapeake Region Summer Meet
Saturday, August 9, 2025 – 8:00 am to 2:00 pm
St. Michael Catholic Church of Poplar Springs
1125 St. Michael's Road
Mount Airy, Md. 21771
We will once again gather in the gymnasium at the St. Michael Catholic Church in Mount Airy, Md. This is an
air-conditioned facility with about 58 8-foot tables available. Mount Airy is between Baltimore and Frederick, just
off of Interstate 70.
See detailed information about this upcoming meet, including printer-friendly,
detailed written directions and links to online maps.
This event is not open to the general public.
Future Chesapeake Region meets
We haven't yet made any specific arrangements for plate meets beyond August 2025, but we're working on it.
We do plan to continue to hold meets in northern Virginia each March, in central/southern Virginia each May, and
in Maryland each August. We would also very much like to hold additional meets in other locations within our
territory, such as in Delaware, or along the I-81 corridor in western Virginia. To do this, we need to find
suitable venues and people willing to help plan and host meets in these locations.
If you know of an inexpensive meet hall (maximum $500 to rent for 8 hours) that has at least 40 8-foot tables
(or can accommodate 300 people seated banquet-style), level access, and adequate parking, located anywhere in
Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, or Washington, D.C., we'd very much like to hear the details.
Tell us about it!
ALPCA conventions are held annually every June or July in various locations around the United States.
The ALPCA convention is the mother of all plate meets, with many hundreds of collectors in attendance, and
probably millions of plates being displayed, traded, and sold. Below are the locations and dates for the
next few years. Check the ALPCA web site for more
details.
- 2025 – Tulsa, Oklahoma; July 9-12
- 2026 – Ft. Wayne, Indiana; July 15-18
- 2027 – St. Cloud, Minnesota; July 14-17
- 2028 – Huntsville, Alabama; July 12-15
Check the following links for info on other plate meets and plate-related events througout North America.
- ALPCA Regional License Plate Meets
- ALPCA-sanctioned meets, as well as some plate meets not affiliated with ALPCA, are both
listed.
- Hershey Region AACA Eastern Fall Meet
- An absolutely massive antique car show, with a vast outdoor antique car parts flea market, held annually
over several days each October in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Many ALPCA members and other license plate
collectors have vendor booths and sell plates at this show each year, as do many of the vendors primarily
selling car parts.
