The Villages Model Train Club

2026 Vendor Show Dates

Summer Expo — September 19–20

The Villages Model Train Club hosts two vendor shows per year. These two‑day (Saturday & Sunday) Expos are held every February and September at the Savannah Center located at 1545 N. Buena Vista Blvd. in The Villages. We are centrally located approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from Orlando, Tampa and Daytona and only twenty minutes south of Ocala.

This beautiful venue features a hotel‑like atmosphere with carpeted floors, spacious aisles and a well‑lighted selling area. Standard 8‑foot tables are only $30.00 each for both days and include passes for the vendor and a helper. Electricity is available for only $5.00 more. Test tracks are available.

Setup is Noon–6 PM Friday and 7–9 AM Saturday. Dealers must be set up by 9 AM Saturday. Limited help is available for unloading and loading.

Our maximum capacity is 143 tables and we have enjoyed sellouts for the past 10 years. Average paid attendance is 1300, plus another 100 club members and vendors. Food and beverages are available to purchase, and interactive multi‑gauge layouts are displayed to enhance attendance.
