Event Details - Ventura

February 7th, 2026 Ventura Fairgrounds

The 22nd Annual David Mann Chopper Fest

Will be held on 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. 

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. Stay tuned for more info.
