LARGEST INDOOR SWAP MEET IN THE COUNTRY
Formerly known as the Colorado Motorcycle Show & Swap, the Expo has been held annually in Denver since 1978. After starting at the Adams County Fairgrounds, the Expo moved to the National Western Complex in the early 1980’s, drawing people from all over the country. With over 20,000 attendees each year, the Colorado Motorcycle Expo boasts a strong and loyal following among motorcycle enthusiasts.
Colorado Motorcycle Expo will return to the National Western Complex for its 43rd annual show in Denver on February 19th and 20th, 2022.
In addition to the swap meet, the Colorado Motorcycle Expo is home to the largest motorcycle show in the Rocky Mountain region, with over 100 bikes in a dozen categories. Covering over 300,000 square feet of indoor space, the Expo hosts a main stage in the entertainment arena and local bands throughout the swap meet. The National Western Complex also houses a plethora of food and beverage options.
Well-rounded and steeped in tradition that followers have come to love and expect, there will also be a few surprises along the way that are sure to wow event goers. Scott and his staff have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to raise the bar and exceed the expectations. You’ll feel that energy as soon as you step through the Expo doors!!
We are committed to maintaining and improving upon the core elements that have made the Colorado Motorcycle Expo an amazing event for the past 42 years. This means bringing together bikers and all who love motorcycles to buy and sell parts and motorcycle goods, display and view amazing motorcycles, and have one hell of a party!
