About the event

Exhibitors from all over the southeast will convene in Dallas, North Carolina on October 9 through 11, 2026 for the annual 'crank-up' of antique steam and gasoline engines and tractors. In addition to the engine show, many activities are planned to include a kids county fair, heritage arts area, handmade craft vendors, and music. So, mark your calendars and plan to join GAMTRA and Gaston County Parks and Recreation Department as we present Cotton Ginning Days. As always, the food is good, and admission and parking are free!
