It has been a challenging year and a half and we have missed seeing you all in person, but we are happy to announce that the WAPA Fall Rally is back!

The event will be held on Thursday, October 7, 2021. We are returning to the Herrington on the Bay resort on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.

Those of you familiar with the WAPA Fall Rally know it is an all-day driving event for Washington Automotive Press Association members. It is the best chance for Mid-Atlantic automotive journalists to sample new cars from a variety of brands, all in their own backyard. It’s also a great opportunity for automotive media and industry representatives to meet face-to-face.

As a reminder, this event is for WAPA members only. Guests, family members, and non-media members are not able to participate in the WAPA Fall Rally.

If you are not a WAPA member but would like to attend, please click on the ticket link for non-members. You’ll be directed to our membership application after registration.

A COVID-19 vaccine is required to attend this event. Herrington on the Bay, WAPA, OEMs, and fleet companies will all be practicing current COVID precautions. Masks will be required when indoors.

We look forward to seeing you all at the Bay to explore what your favorite brands have in store for the rest of 2021, 2022, and beyond.
