 Alumapalooza 

Alumapalooza 2010


Airstream Europe would like to invite you to join us and other European Airstream lovers on a special trip to the home of Airstream in the USA for the spectacular Alumapalooza 2010.

We've teamed up with Travel Counsellors to offer an inclusive, guided excursion, sampling the delights of Chicago, historic Route 66 and of course… Alumapalooza at the Airstream factory in Jackson Center, Ohio.

Alumapalooza is a festival of all things Airstream organized by Airstream Life Magazine. Held in the grounds of the Airstream factory, this home coming event is full of fun and festivities including dozens of informative and lifestyle seminars, live entertainment, factory tours, on-site vendors, live demonstrations, a car show, swap meet, Saturday night BBQ and nightly 'drive-in' movies.

Airstream owners from far and wide flock to the home coming with their trailers to meet up with old friends, make new ones, share their touring experiences and love of all things silver.

Places are available. Contact Michael Hold by email mhold@airstream.com or call to confirm your details on 0044 7710 761229.

We would love you to join us.
