Event Details - Ventura

February 7th, 2026 Ventura Fairgrounds

The 22nd Annual David Mann Chopper Fest

Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the Ventura County Fairgrounds in Ventura, CA, from 8am-4pm. 

There will be a few big changes this year, so buckle up. It's going to be a wild ride. For the first time ever in Ventura, we will feature Jacquie Mann's private archives. Tons of early Dave Mann sketches, paintings, photos, and his personal painting supplies. The event will also feature a very special David Mann and Friends Motorcycle Art Exhibit, like years past.


This year, there will be three bike shows! The Choppers Magazine all-brand Antique and Custom Motorcycle Show. The Thrashin' Supply Co. Performance Show. And the new Lowrider/Vicla Show. If you want to show off your bike to over 10,000 like-minded people, enter it for only $50. Comes with one admission, a limited Early Mann "Fat George" show poster, and a custom David Mann Chopperfest Bike Show t-shirt, available exclusively to bike show participants. The trophies will be amazing, one-of-a-kind pieces of art, just like in years past. It's going to be a wild ride. On-site registrations are available on February 7th from 6 to am. Enter through the bike show gate and visit the registration table to get involve. Cash only!


For the first time ever, we are working on bringing you the David Mann Chopper Fest Tattoo Convention. Ten shops will be invited and bring their best artist to sunny Ventura.


Our pals from Loside are bringing the fun! Another first this year will be the Loside Rodeo Ruckus. Some classic motorcycle rodeo games with a twist, and the Loside team knows how to twist! The crowd favorite Ives Brothers Wall of Death will be performing all day, and Thrashin Supply is giving away their custom 2001 FXDX.


Let's not forget about the Hundreds of Motorcycle/Culture Vendors, a New and Used Motorcycle Parts Swap Meet, Live Music by The Rhyolite Sound and Nick Slater, Food, Beer & so much more.

February 7th: General admission access is available at the gate. Cash only! Your general admission ticket gets you one free entry to win the Krispy Co chopper. The winner will be announced during the awards. You must be present to win. Good luck!
