The booths are being set up, exhibitors are preparing their treasures, and the last boxes are being packed in workshops, garages, and warehouses. Soon, this very special weekend—which classic car enthusiasts from all over Europe have been waiting for—will begin again in Mannheim.
VETERAMA Mannheim will open its doors from October 9 to 11, 2026.
More than 4,000 exhibitors gather at the Maimarkt grounds. Spanning over 280,000 square meters of exhibition space, the event becomes Europe’s largest classic car market for three days.
But numbers alone can hardly describe what awaits visitors.
A weekend full of discoveries
VETERAMA means walking through the first rows early in the morning. Discovering a box of parts and finding exactly the piece you’ve been missing for months. Seeing a classic car you haven’t seen on the road since you were a kid. Or striking up a conversation with an exhibitor and suddenly spending half an hour talking about engines, models, and memories.
In between, you’ll find complete vehicles, motorcycles, spare parts, tools, automobilia, books, and countless rarities. And that’s exactly why no two visits to VETERAMA are alike.
Even more awaits you in 2026
There’s plenty to discover even away from the sales booths. BMW, VW, and Falcone clubs will be showcasing special vehicles and sharing automotive stories. In Hall 2, the exclusive tuning exhibition by DS AUTOMOTIVE awaits you, revealing yet another fascinating aspect of automotive culture.
On Saturday evening, we’ll all stay on the grounds together: Starting at 6 p.m., the band Fresh will provide the perfect music for VETERAMA with their “Rock Unlimited” set.
