The U.P. Steam and Gas Engine Association has held a show every Labor Day weekend since 1977, and even in the midst of a pandemic, we are determined to keep that tradition alive. We won’t be gathering together in person this year, so we’re taking to the show online with special content on our social media outlets and our website.
What is a Virtual Show?
While we can’t replicate the excitement of our annual show, we can provide you with photos and videos of the steam and gas-powered machinery you love. These “exhibits” will appear on our social media outlets and our website
Our virtual show will run September 4-7.
A new video will premiere on our YouTube channel at 9 AM each day.
Photos and videos will be posted on our Facebook page at 15 minute intervals, 10 AM – 5 PM, Friday through Saturday, and 10 AM- 4 PM on Monday.
Additional photos and/or videos will be posted on Instagram at random times throughout weekend.
