51st NSRA Street Rod Nationals South
51st NSRA Street Rod Nationals South Set to Roll into Johnson City, Tennessee in 2026!
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – The National Street Rod Association (NSRA) is excited to announce that the 51st edition of the Street Rod Nationals South will take place on May 8th and 9th, 2026, at the Appalachian Fairgrounds in Johnson City, Tennessee!
Since our first event in 1970, the NSRA has committed itself to bringing together street rod enthusiasts from across the nation, fostering friendships and providing educational resources for our community. The inaugural Street Rod Nationals in Peoria, Illinois, paved the way for our growth, and in 1975, we launched the Street Rod Nationals South in Winston-Salem, NC. This event has evolved over the years with relocations to Columbia, SC and then in 1984 to Knoxville, Tennessee – culminating in our milestone 50th Street Rod Nationals South in 2024.
The 51st Street Rod Nationals South promises two exhilarating days filled with camaraderie, education, and, of course, incredible vehicles. As part of a series of seven divisional gatherings, this event bolsters our largest annual celebration, the Street Rod Nationals, held each August in Louisville, Kentucky.
We welcome all vehicles aged thirty years and older to join us at our NSRA events nationwide, reflecting the positive nature of street rodding today.
