Spring Show

Our Spring Show kicks off the 2027 season with a smaller weekend of antique equipment, exhibitors, and vendors at the same showgrounds along historic Route 40, before the big show returns in August.

Details on this year's Spring Show, including hours and exhibitor categories, will be posted here as the date gets closer. Questions in the meantime? Reach us at info@steamshow40.com.

Getting There

The showgrounds are located at 222 Spring Road, Brownsville, PA 15417, just off U.S. Route 40 in Washington County, PA. Easily accessible from Pittsburgh (~45 minutes) and the surrounding tri-state area. Follow signage from Route 40.

Annual Steam Show

The Annual Steam Show is our flagship event: three full days of antique equipment, live demonstrations, entertainment, vendors, and the largest historical construction display in the United States. Thousands of visitors from across the region and beyond make the trip each August.

From a small John Deere garden tractor to a massive Caterpillar D9 dozer, the variety of equipment on display is unlike anything you'll find anywhere else. Most machines are operational, and many are put through their paces right in front of visitors.
