Our exhibitors are returning with expanded archive collections and displays for our biggest event yet!
As we’ve said about our first two events, these displays represent the largest public exhibition of Aerosmith archives and memorabilia in the world! There will be Aerosmith magazine articles, tour merchandise, t-shirts, posters, crew and band tour jackets, gold and platinum record awards, promo materials, backstage passes and laminates, and thousands of Aerosmith photos! Our first event in 2017 was attended by 700 fans the first year and over 1500 fans at AHD II in 2018. They came from all over the USA and Europe, as well!
You DO NOT want to miss it!
We will be having special guests (TBA) and a very special Q&A session with them!
There will be contests to win collectible prizes, as well!
Now, be sure to keep in mind that parking will be a challenge in our little town, but there will be parking nearby at the Sherburne Gym on Rte. 11, only a five-minute walk from our event. Please don’t park just anywhere, cars will be towed, so be careful…and respectful!
Open from 10am-6pm on Sat., Aug. 15 and Sun., Aug 16, 2020.
The event is FREE (again!), but donations will be gladly accepted so that we may continue to keep these events going!
See you next summer and…
